Tirana, Albania’s vibrant capital, should be the first stop on your journey in the country, offering a fascinating blend of history and modernity.
Famed for its colorful architecture and cultural diversity, the city reflects a forward-thinking spirit while preserving its rich heritage. At its core lies Skanderbeg Square, the city’s beating heart, dominated by the statue of Albania’s national hero, Gjergj Kastrioti Skanderbeg.
Not far from the square is the lively New Bazaar, a favorite gathering spot for locals and visitors alike. With its festive atmosphere, this market is a must-visit in any season.
The Pyramid of Tirana, transformed into a dynamic cultural hub, is another highlight. This landmark seamlessly bridges the country’s communist past with its innovative present.
For a taste of modern Tirana, head to Blloku, once the exclusive neighborhood of communist elites. Today, it’s a bustling area filled with trendy cafes, restaurants, and vibrant nightlife.
Finally, unwind with a stroll through the Grand Park of Tirana, a tranquil green escape perfect for recharging after a day of urban exploration.
