A morning in central Tirana opens with the hum of scooters and the bright sweep of Bulevardi Dëshmorët e Kombit: the city moves with a purposeful energy. The guide leads you from Scanderbeg Square—where Ottoman layers meet modern concrete—to a quiet 19th-century mosque whose tiles seem to hold the city’s stories. The Pyramid of Tirana reappears as a reworked landmark, its angular skin pointing toward a future now filled with tech ambitions.
