Tourist Attractions & Monuments Albania

This square is a good landmark. It is located in the north-western corner of the Blloku district, at the intersection of Sami-Frashëri street, which leads to the Grand Park dam. It features colorful buildings painted in the 2000s, a good Mulliri Vjeter café and amusingly detailed road signs (sharks on the one for the roundabout, a flying saucer for the crosswalk...). It is named in honor of U.S. President Woodrow Wilson, who was the first to recognize Albania's independence in 1919.

The Moscopole/Voskopoja information center is housed in a modern stone building with colorful walls, right at the entrance to the village, on the square where the minibuses to Korça depart and arrive. When it's open, you'll find information about visiting the churches, hiking and accommodation. But during our visits, we often found it closed. The team is mostly reactive on Instagram. Otherwise, the parish priest at Saint-Nicolas church (200 meters away) will also be able to help.

It's sad, but this is how financial aid from the European Union is sometimes used in Albania. This tourist office in the Valbona valley was created in 2019 as part of an EU integration program. Since then, the website has ceased to function and the pretty wooden chalet has been transformed into... a hotel (12 rooms, €50/140 for two, breakfast €7). Comfort and hospitality leave much to be desired. There's still a tourist information office here, but the staff are not at all competent.
