What does Tirana offer in December?

Everyone wants to celebrate at the end of the year, which is why the celebrations during December are magnificent in all the world.

This year in Tirana, the holiday atmosphere has come early.

"From the small markets around the big tree in Skanderbeg Square, to the ubiquitous lighting," writes the renowned journalist Fancesca Masotti, "makes Christmas feel everywhere."

In its supplement, "Corriere della Sera" evidences the initiative undertaken by the Municipality of Tirana for the Orbital Forest for the greening of the capital, as well as the transformation of the "Scanderbeg" square, the new Bazaar and the Pyramid that will be launched soon. Fancesca Masotti writes that "the lust and fear of decades of communist regime, Tirana responds with colors and strong tastes in its streets"

Everyone wants to celebrate at the end of the year, which is why the celebrations during December are magnificent in all the world. This year in Tirana, the festive atmosphere has come a bit earlier. Christmas lights are lit everywhere in the last days of November. Two big Christmas markets have been created, one in "Skanderbeg Square" and the other in "New Bazaar". Small lodges are located which sell souvenirs and other festivals for festivals, restaurants and children's games.
If you find yourself in Tirana in December, we suggest that:
• Walk and enjoy the atmosphere that created Christmas lights.
Tirana generally has a very cold weather so we suggest you to take a walk out of the area where you can really enjoy the festive atmosphere. The best places to go are: Skanderbeg Square, Boulevard "Dëshmorët e Kombit", "New Bazaar", "Toptai Center", "Myslym Shyri" street, "Block" etc.
• Enjoy the snow
Very close to Tirana is Mount i Dajit and you can see it with snow-covered eyes. If you want to visit it, just take the cable car and for 15 minutes you are at the top of the mountain where you can ski, enjoy the snowy whiteness.
• Enjoy warm drinks during the cold evening
Coffee, cocoa, hot chocolates are the favorite drink of Albanians who are almost dependent on coffee. Everywhere you can find a cafe or a coffee bar where you can have a hot drink.
