Quick ride by bicycle from Tirana to Paskuqan

This easy ride takes you from the heart of Tirana north to the suburbs of Paskuqan, covering just over 6 kilometers on mostly smooth, paved roads. You’ll start from Tirana’s bustling city center, known for its colorful buildings and lively Skanderbeg Square. Early in the ride, enjoy urban sights, but you’ll soon transition to quieter roads and a dedicated cycleway, so it’s great for a relaxed pace.

As you leave Tirana’s energy behind, the scenery gets greener as you approach Paskuqan, now a growing residential area north of the capital. There’s a gradual ascent followed by more descent, but nothing too challenging, making this a perfect route for everyday cyclists or anyone wanting an easy outdoor escape. Most of your route (over 97%) is well-paved, and with very little gravel or unpaved stretches, it should be a smooth journey—just be ready for a couple of short, busier sections as you navigate out of Tirana.

By the time you reach Paskuqan, you’ll have a fresh perspective on the city’s northern edge and maybe some ideas for further rural exploring!
