Research 15 classified outdoor destinations within weekend reach of Tirana, grouped across 7 kinds of place and ordered by measured straight-line distance from the city centre. Distances only — no travel times, schedules, or rankings.

Distances are great-circle kilometres between two published coordinates — this page does not publish travel times, transport schedules, opening hours, ticket prices, or rankings. Confirm access, facilities, and seasonal conditions with an official source before travelling.
Reachability is a second axis over the same places: the category says what a destination is, the band says how far it sits from Tirana. Distances are measured in a straight line — this page publishes no travel times.
