Skanderbeg Square

Skanderbeg Square is the large central square of Tirana, named after Albania's national hero, and these articles include it in guides to the capital. A wide pedestrian space surrounds the statue of Skanderbeg, with the National History Museum, the Et'hem Bey Mosque, the Clock Tower and the Opera around its edges. Our posts include a visitor's guide to Tirana Castle a few minutes away, a budget four-day long weekend in Albania and a portrait of the country's cities. Broader guides to top tourist places and travel in Albania, and a week-long Riviera road trip starting from Tirana, complete the set.
