Piazza Park

Shkodra


Where the locals return to, night after night, day after day for people-watching and overloud music. The pizzas and burgers are fairly average though, but you've the choice of eating indoors in a smart dining room, or outside on the busy summer terrace. It's right next to the Mother Teresa monument on the main drag.
