Skanderbeg Square

Located is the absolute heart of Tirana, this is a massive, modern space that really feels like the city's central meeting point. It's an impressive feat of urban design, with its unique sloping pavement that funnels rainwater to the gardens below, and it's surrounded by many of the city's key buildings like the National Museum of History and the Palace of Culture. It's a great place to get a feel for the city's energy. However, while it's huge, it can feel a bit "naked" at times, and I agree it could use a few more attractions or points of interest within the square itself to make it feel more engaging. Great sunset view. Still, it's a vital part of the city and a must-see. Recommended 👍🏼.

It’s a large empty concrete square, incredibly hot in the summer and nothing to do there. In one corner you have a fountain/ water feature. The rest of the square is surrounded by buildings, some of which are under construction. There is a statue also on one side. I parked my car in the car park below, it was the only reason I came to this square. Nothing to see and nothing to do, I suggest you don’t waste your time. If the square is one of the best and most popular tourist attractions in the city then my eyes must have missed something

A must see. Take your time. It is hot in summer so walk around. Museum was closed. I highly recommend going into the mosque. Free. But a funny guy helping people in. Go up the clock tower. It is 200 but worth it for the view. I have included here. Great Architecture in this square. And it was the site of the fall of communism for Albania.

Skanderbeg Square is truly the heart of Tirana. It's a fascinating place that perfectly captures the city's unique history and culture. You can see a wonderful contrast of architectural styles, from the historic Et'hem Bey Mosque and Clock Tower to the grand buildings of the communist era and the more modern structures. It's a beautiful public space and an excellent spot for taking pictures that tell the story of Tirana through its different eras.

Great place downtown just to enjoy the day. Big and spacious, i enjoyed watching people here. Surroundings are buildings from different era and different style, ottomona, brutalist, modern architecture.. very beautiful contrast. Try also visit at night, it has different vibes with all the lights. So many shops and restaurants nearby. Also its a very great idea to find a hotel around here.

This huge square is the centrepoint of the city but I can't help feeling it could be put to better use. It's a large empty space and not really used much during the day as there's no shaded area, I think it could be better used as a park with benches & trees. It becomes busier in the evenings but again it's empty of interest. Many electric scooters and bikes fly across this open flat space.

It was okay, but not as lively as you would expect a main square to be. It is a big open space surrounded by some interesting buildings like the clock tower, a mosque, and the opera house. However, it felt pretty quiet when we visited and there wasn’t much going on. While the location has potential, the atmosphere was a bit dull and there wasn’t much to do.

The Albanian city Tirana is lovely, it has many things to discover from malls to beautiful architectures, ancient mosques and churches. It really is a vibrant and safe city. Loved visiting it.
