Itinéraire
Nous nous retrouvons au bureau près de la place Skanderbeg , entrée à côté du Papa's Cafe . Skanderbeg Square & Points de repère principaux Au cœur de Tirana se trouve la place Skanderbeg, où nous nous arrêtons pour explorer des sites culturels clés : la mosquée Et’hem Bey, l’opéra, le musée national d’histoire et l’architecture environnante. Votre Guide vous expliquera les couches de l'histoire qui se reflètent dans cet espace emblématique.
Nouveau Bazar (Pazari i Ri) Nous nous rendons ensuite à vélo au New Bazaar, un quartier animé rempli de boutiques locales, de produits frais et de souvenirs faits main. Vous aurez du temps libre pour explorer, faire du shopping ou déguster une collation locale.
le quartier animé de Blloku, autrefois réservé à l’élite communiste albanaise, aujourd’hui le quartier le plus branché de Tirana. Après avoir monté nos vélos et casques, nous commençons à rouler vers la zone la plus verte de la ville.
Air Albania Stadium Plus loin sur le boulevard, nous nous arrêtons au stade Air Albania, le seul stade au monde avec une tour intégrée dans sa structure. C’est un symbole audacieux du développement contemporain et de l’ambition architecturale de la ville.
Grand Park & Lac artificiel Notre premier tour nous emmène dans le Grand Parc de Tirana, en faisant le tour du tranquille lac artificiel. Entouré de pins et d'habitants profitant d'activités de plein air, ce cadre paisible offre un début de journée rafraîchissant.
Boulevard des Martyrs et place Mère Teresa En rentrant dans la ville, nous suivons le grand boulevard des Martyrs, nous arrêtons sur la place Mère Teresa, qui abrite l’Université de Tirana et diverses institutions gouvernementales. Le boulevard lui-même est bordé d'architecture moderne et socialiste.
La Pyramide de Tirana Notre prochaine étape est l'emblématique pyramide de Tirana, à l'origine un musée dédié au dictateur Enver Hoxha. Aujourd'hui, il se présente comme un monument postcommuniste controversé et fascinant, en pleine transformation en un pôle numérique et culturel.
Pont de Vodafone au château de Tirana En traversant le pont Vodafone, nous atteignons le château de Tirana (Kalaja e Tiranës). Ici, nous laissons brièvement nos vélos pour marcher dans la zone piétonne magnifiquement restaurée, qui abrite des boutiques d'artisans, des cafés et une architecture traditionnelle.
Pont des Tanneurs (Ura e Tabakëve) À quelques minutes du château, nous nous rendons au pont des Tanneurs, un pont de pierre bien conservé de l'époque ottomane. Autrefois intégrée à l'ancienne route commerciale, elle rappelle tranquillement le passé historique de Tirana niché dans un environnement moderne.
Retour à Blloku par le boulevard des Martyrs Nous concluons notre boucle en redescendant à vélo sur le boulevard des Martyrs, arrivant une fois de plus à Blloku, où votre guide pourra vous proposer des endroits pour manger ou vous détendre après la visite.

Guide Skerdi was friendly and competent! He knew Tiranna very well and dared to give his own opinion. Good bikes, nice tour and plenty of rest + explanations!
My family often does bicycle tours in the major cities we visit - Barcelona, Buenos Aries, Lisbon, etc. This tour was one of the best we have taken. Why? Skardi T. was the perfect guide - very knowledgeable about the history of Albania and Tirana. He shared a lot of personal anecdotes about his family during the communist years and how Tirana has changed. His presentation wasn't a "recitation of facts", rather an ongoing, interactive discussion. The bikes weren't e-bikes, but the terrain is flat and e-bikes are unnecessary if you are comfortable on a bike. (Unlike Lisbon, where the e-bike was very helpful!). Would highly recommend this tour!
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We are very happy to hear that your family enjoyed the Tirana Bike Tour and that it stood out among the many bike tours you have done around the world. Skardi T. will be delighted to know that his knowledge, personal stories, and interactive style made the experience special for you. We also appreciate your note about the bikes and the terrain, as Tirana is indeed very comfortable to explore by regular bike. Thank you again for choosing Local Friends Albania. We hope to welcome you back for another experience in Albania!
Skerdi was amazing. Thorough. Entertaining. Patient. Passionate. Informative. One of the best tours we have ever taken

Skerdi took us on a great bike tour of the City. At each stop he gave us interesting information about the places together with insights into Albanian culture and history. All delivered with a sense of humour, and excellent English. We learned a lot. Definitely worth doing to get a feel for the place, with some useful tips and suggestions too. Easy cycling, it’s pretty much all on the level.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was a real pleasure showing you Tirana by bike and sharing a bit of our city’s history, culture, and everyday life with you. We’re very happy to hear that the tour helped you get a good feel for the city at the start of your visit. Thanks again for joining us, and we hope to welcome you back to Albania one day!
A fantastic way to see the highlights of Tirana city center. Our guide, Pano, provided an excellent overview, plus detailed information when requested, of the history and development of Tirana. It was the highlight of our visit.
Thank you so much, Jorge! We’re really happy to hear that the bike tour was the highlight of your visit to Tirana. Pano will be very pleased to know you appreciated his explanations and the way he shared the city’s history and development. Thank you again for joining us and for recommending the experience!
Great bike tour with guide Stivi. Stivi took his time with everything and has a lot of knowledge of the things he shows during the stops in the city. We had as good as new bikes.
We had the tour with Skerdi as two friends. It was very entertaining and an absolute lively tour. You get the feeling that the guide loves his city and his country. He was honestly interested, there was a lively exchange in the group, and you really feel like you got to know the city. Nor does one get the impression once that this is work for him. Even though he has certainly done the tour hundreds of times, it felt like it was his first tour, so exciting was he. Thanks for the nice experience, Skerdi!
The guide was amazing, we recommend this tour for anyone wanting to learn about Tirana and Albania.
Had an excellent and informative bike tour with Stivi. It was a fantastic group on the day and it was a great way to see the historical sites of Tirana , with in depth history . The bikes are all Giant , great brand and sufficient for the task. Stivi is very friendly , even went out of his way to assist another solo traveller with her next plans for travel. Contact was brilliant before during and after the tour, Stivi even sent me some recommendations later on which was fantastic . If you want a great experience and see more of Tirana and even Albania , this tour group will look after you
Thank you so much for your detailed review! We’re really glad you enjoyed the bike tour and the experience with Stivi — he’ll be very happy to hear this. Hope to see you again in Tirana! Warm regards, Local Friends Albania Team
Our guide Stivi was top. Super competent, nice and took a lot of time.
Thank you very much for your kind words! We’re happy you had a great experience with Stivi — he’ll really appreciate this. Hope to welcome you again!
