Tirana County, Administrative division in central Albania
Tirana County is an administrative region in central Albania that encompasses both urban centers and rural areas spread across a substantial territory. It brings together different municipalities and settlements that form a diverse landscape together.
The region received its current shape through a major administrative reform in the early 2000s, which reorganized boundaries and structures. This restructuring continues to shape how administration and local governance operate today.
The region serves as a meeting point between city and countryside, where weekly markets and seasonal celebrations bring together communities from different areas. These regular gatherings shape how people from urban and rural parts interact with one another.
The area is best explored by traveling between different settlements using local transportation or by car, allowing time for longer drives between distant parts. The best time to visit is outside the extreme heat periods in summer.
The region acts as a geographic and administrative crossroads, connecting several of Albania's major provinces together. This central location makes it a natural hub for traffic and cooperation between different parts of the country.
