Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm just want to take you along and just check out what Tirana's got to offer.

It's very modern, very clean, and it's just got such a vibe.

I definitely think it's well worth seeing because it's a glimpse of the past that you just won't see anymore.

I really enjoyed the city. The culture, people, and history of this country is fascinating and you can see why it will be the next tourist hotspot.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Withdraw local currency (lek) at ATMs upon arrival, as it's a closed currency.
Take the cable car for panoramic views of Tirana.
Visit Bunk'Art 1 for a historical experience, but be prepared for an intense atmosphere.
