Ardita from Tirana

About Me Born in Tirana in 1992, I am a Finance & Marketing graduate, currently working in Human Resources. On a completely different note, my passion, as I have discovered it lately, is taking pictures of every city corner that catches my attention! I am a much happier person during winter months, when I'm reaching for my favorite cup of tea :) Why...

The New Boulevard Tirana

Simple aesthetics

""The New Boulevard" has taken the place of the old train station in Tirana. Its benches and white spaces make it perfect for walking and biking around..."

Back when I was a kid, I remember taking the train to Durres, and it was a really fun experience for me, considering I didn’t even know we had trains. Now, sadly, even though it is pretty cheap, it is not the best way to travel. Our train station has moved now and The New Boulevard is taking its place. It is not finished yet, but most of the job is done. Underground parking, benches (yeah I mention them a lot I know), trees and flowers and all these things. To all the photo lovers, it has plenty of white spaces for that perfect white background that is so hard to find.

It may not be the perfect spot to hang out at during summer --Tirana gets really hot in summer, believe me-- but for the other seasons it makes a great hangout spot. Most of the space is dedicated to pedestrians and bikes, and when it is finished, it is planned to also become a spot for different activities. It will look especially pretty after sunset with all the calm neon lights.

Even though it is ready to take a walk on, The New Boulevard will be all done by the middle of 2018, ready to welcome all.

A little tip to find it easily: Ask for the old train station, since this is a new area and many may not know its name.

Duff

An awesome sports bar

"Duff" in Tirana is like one of those American sports bars you go to drink lots of beer (Simpsons fans will get it). I do love their beer...

The House Tirana

Morning coffee or a night drink?

"The House Tirana" is a great, warm cafe. I love going there for its very good coffee and snacks. It has become one of my favorites in the city, easily!

Postbllok - Checkpoint

Communist isolation

"Postbllok - Checkpoint" in Tirana is a memorial to Albanian communist isolation, conceived as an artistic installation. I like going down to the bunker...

Iliria'98

Money exchange

"Iliria'98" in Tirana is the currency exchange office I head to before going abroad. It's the cheapest in the city, so I recommend you use it, too.

COD

Get into the Prime Ministry building!

"COD", or the Centre for Openness and Dialogue in Tirana, is a new initiative in Albanian cultural life. I love coming here to work or curl up with a book.
