Just south of the prestigious Blloku district is Tirana’s Grand Park, which is the city centre’s top spot for fresh air and a bit of exercise. It covers 230 hectares and encloses a large artificial lake.
Famously the Presidential Palace can be found here, which was originally designated as a residence for King Zog I, but was completed just a few years before communism.
There are also tombs to several Albanian national heroes in the park, among them politicians, writers and philosophers.
