Tirana is the best-kept secret in Eastern Europe. From rainbow-coloured buildings to world-class coffee culture, the capital of Albania is worth it. Share on Facebook
Forget everything you think you know about Eastern European capitals. Tirana isn't Prague with its tourist hordes, nor is it Budapest with its well-worn guidebook trail.
This is a city that's been quietly transforming itself while the rest of Europe wasn't paying attention; and frankly, that's exactly what makes a visit to Tirana so special.
Why Tirana is Worth a Visit
Once dismissed as a concrete communist relic, Tirana has emerged as one of Europe's most unexpectedly vibrant capitals.
Where else can you sip expertly crafted flat whites beneath buildings painted in every colour of the rainbow, then pop into a former nuclear bunker turned art gallery?
This is a city where Ottoman-era mosques share streets with Italian-influenced architecture, and where the nightlife rivals anything you'll find in Berlin or Barcelona.
