The Botanic and Zoologic parks of Tirana will not be divided anymore.
Once entering one of them, visitors will be able to watch the other as
well. But how will this connection be done?

“There will be a tunnel under the road, with an aquarium full of water animals and butterflies from all over Albania”, said Joni Baboci, Urban Director at the Tirana Municipality.

This is the project that will be followed in the next two years by the Municipality of Tirana, which will give citizens and new entertainment area through a new concept. But what are the models brought by the German architect, Peter Razbah?

“There are several similar parks in the world. One of them is the Orlando Zoo. Another one is in Barcelona. In Genova they are also using the aquarium concept”, Baboci said.

The Tirana Municipality plans to transform the current zoo and its animals as well.

“We are going to bring giraffes, Zebra and other exotic animals”, Baboci said.
