Walking there is the easy part
From Skanderbeg Square, walk south past the National Museum and along the edge of Rinia Park — after about eight minutes of flat, shaded pavement you will reach our quiet side street, and the garden gate is impossible to miss. Coming from the Pyramid, it is even closer: five minutes downhill through one of the calmest corners of the city center. If you are staying in the Blloku district, most hotels are within a ten-minute stroll.
The walk itself is part of the experience — you pass some of the capital's best-known sights on the way, so many guests combine an afternoon of sightseeing with dinner in our garden. If the summer heat has worn you out, any taxi driver in the center knows the street; the ride costs only a few hundred lek from anywhere downtown. However you arrive, a shaded table, cold local wine and a warm welcome are waiting at the end.
Coming by Taxi?
Show the driver: "Vila Ferdinand — Traditional Restaurant, Donika Kastrioti Street, Tirana 1000". Every driver in Tirana knows the street — it is just off the centre, a short ride from anywhere in the city. If in doubt, tap Get Directions above and show them the map pin.
Walking from Skanderbeg Square, allow around eight relaxed minutes heading towards the Pyramid of Tirana; the restaurant is tucked on Donika Kastrioti Street behind its garden. Coming from Blloku, it is an equally short stroll. Look for the villa with the green garden terrace — that is us. If you get turned around, call +355 69 212 1212 and we will guide you the last hundred metres.
Once you arrive: walk-ins are welcome every day from 11:00 to 23:00, and if you prefer to be sure of a table you can reserve ahead in under a minute.
