Active & outdoors in Tirana
Tirana has a surprisingly varied offer of outdoor activities for the Albanian capital. The Bovilla reservoir and Farka Lake provide calm spots for relaxing by the water, while Mount Dajti and Mali i Lopës reward hikers with broad views over the city and surrounding landscape. Prezë Fortress combines a short hike through the hills with a glimpse of the region's past. For those drawn to sporting venues and their open-air atmosphere, options range from the Air Albania Stadium and Arena Egnatia to Stadiumi "Selman Stërmasi" and several other local grounds. The wide Bulevardi Dëshmorët e Kombit is a pleasant axis for walking or cycling through the city centre.

Tirana
naturelocal gemsFarka Lake lies in the south-east of Tirana, where the city gives way to the hilly landscape of the former Komuna Farka. At around 75 hectares it is larger than the artificial lake in the capital's Grand Park — and considerably quieter. It is fed by a small stream dammed by an embankment some 300 metres long at the southern end. The lake is up to two kilometres long and 700 metres wide. The shoreline has developed into a popular excursion destination for Tirana residents: restaurants and small cafés have sprung up, fishing is possible, and in summer families come here to walk and swim. Farka Lake offers a green lung on the doorstep of the Albanian capital.
