Tips from locals
Former 18th-century stone livestock bridge, now restored for use by pedestrians.
The Bridge is considered as a testimony of Tirana's urban development in the 18th century.
This elegant Ottoman stone footbridge once served as the main connection between Tirana and the highlands to the east.
