Tips

Hiking

The Grand Mosque forms the new religious heart of Tirana: a bright, open complex that gives the city a contemporary Islamic identity. With space for ten thousand worshippers, this is the largest mosque in the Balkans, but the atmosphere remains surprisingly serene. The architecture combines classic Ottoman lines with modern transparency, making the house of prayer look both monumental and accessible.

Hiking

Four 50-meter-high minarets surround the large dome (otherwise, only one is common in Albania), and it can accommodate 4,500 worshippers. It is said to be one of the largest mosques in the Balkans. Turkey contributed €30 million to the construction, and it was finally completed in 2024. It has a somewhat cold feel, but the ceiling and chandelier are magnificent. (Is its size necessary?)
