Timeline

Stop at Natyral & Organik for some local honey, dried herbs, or a bottle of wine to take with you. The shop is open until 21:00 on weekdays and has a second window in the late afternoon on weekends.
16:15
Head to Juvenilja Castelo for a coffee or a light snack. This 24/7 spot is close to the park and perfect for a quick break before the main event.
16:35
Grand Park along the Artificial Lake
Walk to the southern part of Grand Park along the Artificial Lake. Find a spot with a view toward the west. As the sun sets, the light will hit the water and the surrounding mountains, creating a calm, golden atmosphere.
16:50
End your evening at Te Dhuri. It is a simple Albanian restaurant just a short walk away. Note that they only serve a daily lunch menu, so if you arrive after the evening service starts, they may not be open for dinner. If it is too late for lunch, the restaurant closes at 20:00, so check if you are arriving before then.
Local tip
The park is popular with locals, so expect people walking their dogs or jogging. The sunset view is best when looking west toward the mountains.
