April begins with numerous activities in Tirana. Some festivals feature music, art, and culture. April is also a festive month, marked by Easter festivities for Catholics and Orthodox. This month in Albania is also favorable for tourists visiting the city, and its streets are bustling. This month marks the beginning of an electoral campaign for political parties ahead of the May 11 elections.

Regarding the weather, April is a transitional month between winter and spring. There is a legend called April Witches, which refers to the cold days and rains that occur during this month.

Outdoor tours

For outdoor tours, we recommend the tour to Bovilla Lake, which has the best natural view close to Tirana. Dajti Mount is always one of the best experiences and a must-visit. Other outdoor attractions are Cyclop Eye, a magic place in Krraba Village, and Pellumbas Cave, another beautiful attraction that will send you back to ancient times. This cave was inhabited at least 30000 years ago. With the tourist season starting everywhere in Albania, we also recommend other tours that are a short distance from Tirana, such as the Tirana-Kruja tour, Tirana Berat Tour, Tirana Durres Tour, etc.

Visit Tirana offers authentic experiences to help you get to know our local traditions and culture. One such experience is Experience Tirana like a Local, where you will get an overview of Albanian living traditions, costumes, and behaviors.

Another fantastic experience is the wine-tasting tour. This tour will introduce you to the diverse varieties of grapes in Tirana, where you will visit a winery and sample the finest Albanian wines, accompanied by traditional food.
