ABOUT THE DESTINATION
Tirana is Albania’s capital and largest city, rebuilt around Skanderbeg Square and framed by Mount Dajti. A century of Ottoman, Italian and socialist layers now mixes with vivid painted facades, the Blloku café district, the Bunk’Art museums and one of Europe’s most energetic food scenes — the natural first stop for any trip to the country.
