Goodbye summer, welcome Autumn!

September is the first month of autumn, and in Tirana, just like everywhere else, life comes alive as schools start and numerous cultural and artistic activities increase. Autumn marks the resumption of cultural calendars that were interrupted by the hot summer. For tourists, it is a very favorable period for walking tours in the city and exploring the natural areas outside the city, as the weather is cooler. This is evident from the large number of requests from tourists to Visit Tirana, seeking information on what to do in Tirana in September and October.

Events in September

Great concerts start in September with two great legendary bands, Scorpions and Dire Straits. The first band sings at Skanderbeg Square, the second at the Palace of Congresses. If you haven’t got your tickets, hurry up because they are still available.

Ermonela Jaho, the world-famous Albanian soprano, sings on September 19 at the Opera and Ballet Theater. This theater offers a very rich cultural calendar filled with ballet, opera, symphonic music concerts, and Dance Ensemble.

Check-in Festival takes place over 3 consecutive days at the end of September, featuring famous Albanian singers, as well as DJs and groups from around the world. Regarding cinematographic events, Tirana International Film Festival takes place for a week with lots of new competitive films and surprises and prizes.

A month full of cultural activities for you who visit Tirana in September

Where to go?

Tirana not only has activities, but also many areas where you can enjoy nature on weekends. Autumn is ideal for walking in Dajt, of course, after the spectacular cable car ride. However, trips to other areas, such as Bovilë, Petrele, Preze, etc., cannot be missed. Tirana is full of cafes on every corner and street, but we suggest Mon Cherri for authentic service.

Likewise, the restaurants we suggest are Habitat for mainly seafood cuisine, Amo Sushi, of course, for sushi, and Padam for traditional and elite cuisine, among others. For day tours, consider visiting Zenith Travel, especially if you’re outside Tirana, as it offers one of the safest transportation options in the city. While those of you who are interested in maritime tourism, do not hesitate to click on the clinics we suggest in the wellness category of Visit Tirana.
