Places to visit near the accommodation
SM View East is located in the Perballe QSUT area on Rruga e Dibrës, northeast of Tirana’s central square. Its position provides access to several important cultural sites in the city centre, as well as neighbourhood landmarks along the historic eastern approach to central Tirana.
- Tanners’ Bridge (Ura e Tabakëve): This stone pedestrian bridge stands on Rruga George W. Bush, close to the Lana River. Built during the Ottoman period, it is one of the few remaining examples of Tirana’s historic bridge architecture. Visitors can see the arched stone structure and the surrounding streets associated with the former crafts district.
- New Bazaar (Pazari i Ri): Located east of Skanderbeg Square, this urban market area combines food stalls, cafés, restaurants, and shops in a redeveloped historic neighbourhood. The central market building and surrounding streets provide an opportunity to observe local produce trading and everyday city life.
- Skanderbeg Square: Tirana’s principal public square is the city’s main civic and cultural meeting point. The large pedestrian area is surrounded by major institutions, including the National History Museum, the Palace of Culture, the Et’hem Bey Mosque, and the Clock Tower. The square also contains the Skanderbeg Monument.
- National History Museum: Situated on Skanderbeg Square, this is Albania’s largest museum. Its collections present the country’s history through archaeological objects, religious art, historical documents, and exhibits covering the modern and contemporary periods. The building is recognisable by the large mosaic on its façade.
- Et’hem Bey Mosque: This historic mosque occupies the southeastern side of Skanderbeg Square. It is known for its painted interior and exterior decorations, including landscape scenes that are uncommon in Islamic religious architecture in the region. Visitors should follow the site’s rules regarding entry and appropriate clothing.
- Tirana Clock Tower: Built beside the Et’hem Bey Mosque, the Clock Tower is one of the most distinctive historic structures in central Tirana. Its tower and clock form part of the city’s traditional landmark group around Skanderbeg Square, alongside the mosque and the former bazaar area.
