After the cold and gloomy January, almost everyone can hardly wait for February. Some are excited to celebrate Valentine’s Day, and some look forward because it is the last month of winter. This is the time of early spring when love and romance blossom. One of the first signs of the early spring is the fresh exuberance of the mimosa flower, a beautiful and wondrous sight to behold.

February is the month of love, so give as much love and warmth as possible to your partner and your relatives. The City will be decorated with Hearts everywhere, especially in the center. Meanwhile, bars and restaurants are adopting new menus and offers to attract celebrating couples.
An important date is February 11, when Tirana was declared the capital of Albania in 1920. This year, Tirana will turn 104 years old as the Capital of Albania. These crucial dates have always been remembered with various events in the capital. Part of the festivities will be an open event in Tirana, the Colorful City, with an exhibition of Tirana Photos in Years, poetry, and other activities in different city squares.

What you can do in February?

Enjoy nature
Nature is free. Go out in nature as often as possible and give yourself peace of mind. Tirana has many parks and spaces where you can go hiking, cycling, or relaxing, like Artificial Lake Park, Farka Lake, Kashar Lake, etc. We offer some bike tours, especially city bike tours, Park bike Tours, or Farka bike Tours.
Dajti Mountain and Gropa Mountain are two destinations that are visited at this time of year because they are covered with snow. You can stay at Balkoni I Dajtit for a good lunch and enjoy the spectacular view of the city.

Events in February in Tirana

The Opera and Ballet Theater has launched its artistic program. TKOB is pleased to welcome, on the 20th anniversary of its creation, the Choir of the Kosovo Philharmonic, a big concert to be held on the 2nd of February. Giselle is one of the most beautiful ballets, returning to the TKOB stage from February 5-7.
A concert by Vesa Luma will be held at the National Theater of Opera and Ballet on 11th February.

By 11 February, it will be the 104th anniversary of Tirana as the Capital of Albania. Many activities from morning until the evening will be organized by Tirana Municipality. Among the exhibitions is Tirana, which is a colorful city.

   
On 14th February, Valentine’s Day will be celebrated everywhere in the city, from the main squares to bars and restaurants.

Attractions of the month
We recommend two museums this month: The Postal Museum or Gallery and the Museum of Natural Sciences. The first Museum has some unique posts, and the history of our posts starts from the first government of Ismail Qemaili.

The Museum of Natural Science will show you the world of unique species and animals of Albania, some so rare you can’t find them in any part of the world. This museum will show how rich the biodiversity of Albania, which consists of 30% of the whole Flora of Europe and 42% of the entire fauna of Europe.

Enjoy this month as much as possible, and remember that on February 29, the Photo Contest #TiranaWinter2024 will end, so post as many photos from Tirana with this hashtag as possible.
