Arka Rooftop
Sunset over the city
About Arka Rooftop
Arka Rooftop crowns the Arka Art Hotel on Rruga e Ftonjve, east of the centre, with a pool, a bar and wide views over Tirana to Mount Dajti. Guides to the city often name it as a sunset spot, and on a summer evening it is easy to see why: come for a cocktail as the sky turns pink over the mountains, then stay for a light dinner. In the warm months the pool area is lively at weekends. Check the hotel website for opening times and any access rules for non-guests.
