Established in 1966, Tirana’s zoo was for years too depressing to write about, but has recently undergone much-needed renovations. The conditions for the animals have much improved, with bears (Roki and Smoki), wolves, llamas, ostriches, antelopes, buffaloes, eagles, hawks, and rabbits inhabiting the enclosures. Walk under the bridge at the western end of the Grand Park dam to find the entrance.
