Wilson Square Benches Tirana
Coffee-shop-surrounded area
If you are like me, a cup of coffee and a bench to sit are enough for a nice morning. In 2016, when I I used to work in one of the shops located at the Wilson Square, I found three coffee shops and numerous benches to just sit and get ready to start the day. So you can imagine how good my morning was. The amount of peace and calmness it would give me!
The area gets a little crowded during the day, but it is the perfect spot to get those minutes of relaxation in the morning, right before a long day. On two sides of the square there are enough benches to sit on, colored in red, yellow, pink and blue, surrounded by shops of different categories. Near the benches there are Mulliri i Vjeter, Mon Cheri and Sophie Café, three of the most famous coffee shops in Tirana, so you have different options for your coffee, your tea or a quick snack.
It is located in the middle of the road that goes from Libri Universitar to Komuna e Parisit and the road coming from the Artificial Lake to Blloku is easily accessible.
Oh, and of course in the middle of these roads there is a statue of the American President Thomas Woodrow Wilson since 2012, hence the name of my beloved square!
