Bovilla Lake is a reservoir in the mountains northeast of Tirana, known for its turquoise water and viewpoint hikes; these articles cover a visit.

It is joined by a short Tirana itinerary covering history, food and local culture over two or three days, and a list of lesser-known places to visit in Albania during autumn.
