I always recommend my clients should visit the restored Tanners’ Bridge whilst in Tirana. This elegant Ottoman stone footbridge was once used by farmers in the east highlands of Albania to bring their livestock and agricultural products to market. Overlooking the bridge, beneath some fragrant fig trees there is a small café, where you can sip a raki and enjoy the view.
