Rada Wine Agroturizëm

Opened in 1953, the Aleksandër Moisiu Theatre is named after the world-famous actor of Albanian descent and is one of the country’s oldest stage institutions. In central Durrës, it puts on drama, comedy, concerts and events for children and young people.

Laid out after the 1926 earthquake, Rruga Tregtare (Commercial Street), now Bulevardi Epidamn, began Durrës’s modern town plan. Its roughly 300 metres from the port to Sheshi Liria are still lined with 1930s–40s buildings, shops below and homes above.

Vollga Promenade follows the seafront in central Durrës, from near the Venetian Tower towards Currila. Rebuilt around 2020, the wide waterfront walk is lined with cafés and restaurants and is busiest in the evening, when locals come out to watch the sun set over the Adriatic.

Agroturizëm Huqi sits among the Huqi family’s fields near Radë, north-east of Durrës, and its menu draws on the farm: seasonal vegetables, meat, local olive oil and artisan wine. Guests can also walk in the countryside and see the farm animals.

Built in the early 2nd century AD under Emperor Trajan, Durrës Amphitheatre held some 15,000–20,000 spectators and is considered the largest Roman amphitheatre in the Balkans. Archaeologist Vangjel Toçi found it by chance in 1966; houses still cover part of it, and it is on Albania’s UNESCO Tentative List.

Built by the Republic of Venice in the 15th century on the remains of a Byzantine tower, the round Venetian Tower (Torra Veneciane) guarded the port of Durrës. Restored with EU funds after the 2019 earthquake, it reopened in 2023 as a heritage centre with VR headsets and digital periscopes.
