Parks und Plätze in Tirana

Urban Parks and Squares

Tirana’s central identity is shaped by its expansive pedestrian plazas and significant green zones. This selection features Skanderbeg Square, the city's historic core, and the 289-hectare Grand Park, home to an artificial lake and the Presidential Palace. The list also includes Mother Teresa Square, flanked by Italian-designed university buildings, and Parku Rinia, a central park established in 1950. These sites offer a direct look at the city's architectural evolution, from socialist-era monuments to contemporary recreational spaces.
