Tirana Overview

Touted as being the next European hotspot, Albania’s capital city is quickly becoming a popular travel destination-and for good reason too! With a thriving culinary screen, postcard landscapes, legendary nightlife and both modern and classic architecture, there is plenty to see, experience and taste.

With Albania’s bid to enter the EU, there’s a massive push to increase tourism and develop Tirana’s popular city sites. They recently transformed one of the underground, soviet-era bunkers into a fascinating museum and created free city walking tours for visitors. The good news is Albania is still relatively untouched by mass tourism, so now is the prime time to visit!

We’ve got you covered with the best places to stay, eat, and visit, with our ultimate Tirana guide.
