The Grand Park of Tirana, with its artificial lake, is a lush retreat in the heart of Albania's capital. Once a grazing area for Vlach shepherds, it has transformed into a key recreational and cultural spot. The lake, created in 1955 through community effort, and the park's layout, envisioned by architect Valentina Pistoli, now host memorials, an amphitheater, and the city's only zoo. Covering over 1.5 million square meters, it's the largest green space in Tirana, enhancing the city's landscape and microclimate. The park is rich in biodiversity, featuring a variety of trees, shrubs, birds, and other wildlife. Managed by the Agency of Parks and Recreation since 2015, it offers a range of activities and is a beloved urban oasis for residents and visitors alike.

The Tirana bike tour was both enjoyable and informative. Cycling through the city was a great way to explore, and our guide, Arid, stood out for his deep knowledge of Tirana and Albanian history. His engaging stories gave real insight into the culture, and the whole experience was memorable. Highly recommended.
It was a fun trip where we saw and heard a lot of the city. Arid, our guide, told many of the history and culture of the city and showed beautiful or special places. The trip is doable, with plenty of stops and a break where you can buy a drink.
Hello Lonneke, if you enjoyed the tour so much why only 4 stars? If there was something that needed improvement, you could have told me during the tour. Or write it on the review for other people to know in advance If you want to help a business, you can leave 5 stars as it doesnt cost you anything I never understand why some dutch people do these kind of reviews where they write it was great, had so much fund, guide was friendly and we learned a lot, then the rating is 80% out of 100. But anyway you should feel special being only 1 out of 2 people who left us 4 stars. All the best
Arid was very helpful from booking through to meeting and then throughout the tour with his unique knowledge of the history and even the architecture. He guided us to some of the key central places on good bikes, was friendly and amicable, and have great advice on where we should visit subsequently and where wasn't quite so good. His recommendations on restaurants was spot on too. So glad we did this tour and I recommended this wholeheartedly to anyone visiting Tirana (suggest you do it early in your visit to get the best out of the recommendations).
Arid is great- perfect English, knowledgeable as he grew up in Tirana, and the bike tour is just the right length/time at 11km and 2.5 hours. Do this right when you get to Tirana, and then explore anything else in more depth afterwards. Highly recommend
Cool guide! Clearly explained all the highlights if Tirana. The lake was pretty nice to get out of the busy life in the city
It was a top bike tour by our guide Arid, we saw many things and the explaining was very interesting about the architecture of the buildings in Tirana, also the biking was relaxing in a busy city. We can recommending this tour.
An enjoyable and informative city cycle tour. We learnt many interesting things about Tirana and Albania. Arid was an excellent guide whose knowledge of the area and history was exceptional. A 5 star tour which I thoroughly recommend to any visitors
This was a good trip offering a good mix of city centre tourist sites and a pleasant trip in the park and around the lake on the outskirts of the city. Genci was a great guide - informative & happy to answer any questions.
Hello Archie If you enjoyed the tour then why 4 stars? tell us what to improve first, or just skip it altogether. its 80% out of 100, you could have just not written this, as we only have 5 star reviews.
Beautiful bike tour through the center and park and around the lake With an explanation and story at all highlights. Prima mountainbike.
The seven of us got the bike tour from Genci! It was a very nice afternoon in which we saw and learned a lot about the city of Tirana. Genci told us many things and could answer all our questions. He took a huge time for us and let us stay in every place as long as we wanted! Hugely recommended!!
