the vibrant Blloku neighborhood—once restricted to Albania’s communist elite, now the trendiest part of Tirana. After getting fitted for our bikes and helmets, we start riding toward the greenest area of the city.

Air Albania Stadium Cycling further along the boulevard, we stop at the striking Air Albania Stadium—the only stadium in the world with a tower built into its structure. It’s a bold symbol of the city’s contemporary development and architectural ambition.

Grand Park & Artificial Lake Our first ride takes us into the Grand Park of Tirana, circling the tranquil Artificial Lake. Surrounded by pine trees and locals enjoying outdoor activities, this peaceful setting offers a refreshing start to the day.

As we return to the city, we follow the grand Martyrs’ Boulevard, stopping at Mother Teresa Square, which is home to the University of Tirana and various government institutions. The boulevard itself is lined with modern and socialist-era architecture.

The Pyramid of Tirana Our next stop is the iconic Pyramid of Tirana, originally a museum dedicated to dictator Enver Hoxha. Today it stands as a controversial and fascinating post-communist monument, undergoing transformation into a digital and cultural hub.
