About Sky Tower viewpoint

The Sky Tower on the edge of Blloku has a revolving restaurant and a panoramic bar near the top, the easiest way to see the whole city at once, from Skanderbeg Square and the new towers to the Grand Park and Mount Dajti. Come at sunset for the best light, order a coffee or a cocktail, and watch Tirana turn slowly beneath you. Opening times change, so check before you go. It is a few minutes’ walk from the bars and cafés of Blloku.
