Central
Tirana
A colourful capital of bunkers, cafés, and a city that has rewritten itself in a generation.
Tirana is the country’s introduction: Skanderbeg Square, the Pyramid, Bunk’Art, and a café culture that stretches late into the evening. It is not a museum city. It is lived-in, contradictory and increasingly confident.
Why visit
Start or finish here. The capital gives context to everything that follows — history, food, and the pace of contemporary Albania.
Best time to visit
Year-round. Spring and autumn are especially pleasant.
Travel tips
Use Tirana as a hub. Most journeys begin at Nënë Tereza Airport.
