Activity itinerary

Cooking Class - Go as Local

We begin the Tirana tour by meeting your guide in the given location. After a brief welcome and introduction to the day’s plan, we take a short walk together to our first stop—an inviting local eatery where we ease into the day with some authentic Albanian flavours. At this cosy private spot, you’ll enjoy a light traditional breakfast-style meal featuring Lakror, a signature Albanian pie made with hand-stretched dough and typically filled with vegetables, herbs, or cheese. It’s a humble yet iconic dish that reflects the heart of rural Albanian cooking. Alongside the lakror, we’ll sample locally made cheeses and fruit jams, offering a sweet and savoury balance that’s simple, satisfying, and deeply rooted in Albanian tradition.

Pazari i Ri

Our journey continues with a visit to one of Tirana’s most colourful and lively areas – the New Bazaar. Recently revitalised, this historic market area blends old-world charm with modern Albanian culture. As we stroll through its bustling streets, you’ll discover local produce, artisanal goods, and authentic crafts. We’ll take a relaxing break here to enjoy some local refreshments. Try ‘bozë’, a traditional Albanian drink made from fermented corn and sugar – sweet, slightly tangy, and a unique taste of the region’s heritage. You’ll also have the chance to cool off with some locally made ice cream, a favourite among both locals and visitors for its rich flavour and creamy texture. Take this time to soak in the atmosphere, snap some photos, and experience the everyday life of Tirana in one of its most beloved gathering spots.

Skanderbeg Square

We then bike to the city’s central plaza, Skanderbeg Square, a symbol of national pride and cultural identity. Here, you’ll hear stories of Albania’s past and how the city has transformed over time, surrounded by important landmarks like the National History Museum, Et’hem Bey Mosque, and government buildings.

Kalaja Tiranes Familja Topitani

Next, we head to the historic Tirana Castle, one of the city’s oldest sites, now revitalised as a cultural and culinary hub. Within its charming stone walls, you’ll enjoy an olive oil tasting featuring premium local varieties—rich, peppery, and golden—paired with rustic bread and fresh herbs. Learn about Albania’s deep-rooted olive oil production traditions and what makes their oils unique.

The Taproom by Pan’s Microbrewery

After the castle, it’s time to quench your thirst with a visit to a local microbrewery, where you’ll sample a selection of craft beers brewed with Albanian ingredients and creativity. From pale ales to dark stouts, discover how Tirana’s beer scene is growing with flavour and character.

Pyramid of Tirana

We cycle along the iconic Deshmoret e Kombit Boulevard, one of Tirana’s most prominent streets, lined with striking buildings and history. As we ride, we stop to view the Pyramid of Tirana, a controversial and fascinating structure originally built as a museum for dictator Enver Hoxha. It now stands as a symbol of Albania’s post-communist transformation.

Liqeni Artificial i Tiranes

We leave the urban buzz behind and enter Grand Park of Tirana, also known as the Lake Park, a serene area filled with fresh air, shady trees, and lakeside paths. This is the perfect time to relax, take in nature, and enjoy a leisurely ride before lunch. We stop for a fresh breath and then try some traditional Albanian alcoholic drink (Raki) with cinnamon.

Cooking Class - Go as Local (Pass by)

We wrap up the tour by cycling back to our starting point, full of memories, new tastes, and a deeper connection to Tirana’s spirit. Your guide will be happy to share tips for further exploration or dining in the city.
