El Hedonista: Tirana, the happy capital where you breathe freedom

“Tirana has flourished like a happy capital full of terraces where people chat animatedly in front of a café or its rich local beers. You breathe freedom”, this is how El Hedonista starts the article about the capital of Albania. El Hedonista, the Spanish media recommends a couple of days for visiting Tirana.
Indeed, Tirana so far is recommended for on day or weekend break, and Spanish media have more on the list for a longer stay!

What to visit in Tirana?
Skanderbeg square is located in the heart of Tirana, named after the national hero who lived in the fifteenth century. The square is surrounded by beautiful attractions, the national museum, the palace of culture, the mosque of Ethem Bey, the clock tower.  
There are lot of pedestrian streets and boulevards that cross the city with traffic and pollution, but also with leafy and quiet parks. Not everything is bad in communism: an advantage is the layout of wide avenues and large squares.

There is much to see in Tirana and enough to enjoy.
