This cable-car is a fun family day out and a superb introduction to the city, taking you up by gondola to the dramatic mountain on Tirana’s eastern edge. The cable-car spans a kilometre, making it the longest in the Balkans, and rises more than 800 metres up the mountainside. The journey will take about 15 minutes and at the top there’s a tourism complex with restaurants and hotels. Of course the view over the city will be memorable, but there are also year-round activities on the table, including trekking and horseback riding in summer, and skiing in winter.

A pedestrianised street in the centre of Tirana, Rruga Murat Toptani is a handsome promenade between the Parliament Building and the National Art Gallery. The name of this popular artery comes from the Toptani Family, who held sway in Ottoman Albania from the 1700s right up to the Second World War. The street is especially grand in summer when the twin rows of plane trees offer shade from the sun. Along the route you can admire some of the city’s old fortifications, dating to the time when the Toptanis vied for control of Tirana with other powerful local families. In this street you will also find the Tirana Castle as well as a Fresh Juice Shop called "Noki".

In the summer things can really heat up in Tirana, but a day at the beach is just an easy car trip away. If you’re visiting with little ones you’ll be able to let them paddle in the gentle and shallow surf with peace of mind. Durres bears all the hallmarks of a European beach resort, with restaurants, sports facilities and more, but the prices for stuff like refreshments, chairs and parasols are way more reasonable than you’ll find in more famous beach destinations.
