Sightseeing
Tirana Artificial Lake is the perfect place to spend a sunny day, in any season; the perfect place to see how nature awakens during spring, the sweet escape from the summer heat underneath all the trees, the chance to watch the golden ground made of leaves on autumn and a little spot to catch those warm rays of sun during winter.
You can choose to take a walk by the lake dam , or you can choose to walk by the lake and sit and enjoy how the sky reflects on the still water. It looks especially lovely during sunset or sunrise. Many people choose to go for a run early in the morning, but there are also places to just chill, coffee bars and benches, a park for kids and also some gym equipment. The choice is up to your preference.

Mount Dajti National Park is situated 37 km from the location and 50 km east of Tirana International Airport Mother Teresa.
The park has a surface area of 3,300 hectares, is highly frequented by day and considered the 'Natural Balcony of Tirana'.
This picturesque mountain enhances and frames the landscape of Tirana, and best of all is just a 15-minute cable car ride from the city.
The ascent itself is something to be savoured with stunning views as you reach the top.
Once at the top, you are immersed in a spectacle of luscious natural colours that will leave any visitor feeling nourished and reinvigorated after some busy days in Tirana. It’s hard to believe that such peace and quiet exists mere minutes from the capital.
