Tirana

It's difficult to draw Tirana in a few words. Descriptions such as "a bustling city" and "a colorful city" are simply attempts to convey some sense of the city's culture, passion, and delight. Allow yourself to be inspired by the joys that await you in Tirana, whether it's a visit to one of the city's attractions, museums, or neighbouring castles, or an evening at clubs and bars in the city's trendiest areas. We wish you a wonderful time here in Tirana.

Many people will begin their exploration of Albania's top places in Tirana, the country's capital. The 18th-century Et'hem Bey mosque is well worth a visit despite the city's lack of must-see tourist attractions. The people of Tirana, like the vast majority of Albanians, are incredibly pleasant, and the city is incredibly inexpensive, with surprisingly good food and drinks available for very little money. One of Tirana's most notable areas is Skanderbeg Square, which also houses the National Historical Museum. A statue of the famous Albanian national hero Skanderbeg stands in the center of Skanderbeg Square — and therefore at the heart of Tirana.
