We begin the adventure at “Avni Rustemi Square,” at the entrance of the “New Bazaar.” After outlining the route, we’ll cycle out of the city on dedicated bike lanes until the real adventure starts on off-road terrain. This tour reveals a side of Tirana that you won’t see on regular city tours. You’ll experience the genuine hospitality of locals from the very first kilometer. Midway, we’ll enjoy lunch and coffee at an agricultural restaurant, where you’ll taste delicious organic food prepared with love by a local family. Then, we continue the journey through single trails, forests, and perhaps even a few rivers! We end the tour with a relaxing coffee to unwind. Note: The route is 30% asphalt, 50% off-road, and 20% single trails. You should have a medium level of mountain biking experience and be in good health.
