Katundi i Ri

bila sam malo skepticna po pitanj Albanije, i bila sam u pravu, sem centra Tirane koja me prijatno iznenadila... dosta sredjeno, puno zanimljivih gradjevina..a tek sto su obojene..nema boje fasade koju ne mozete vidjeti :)) estete su strasne :))) salu na stranu, posjetite Sky tower, na vrhu je restoran koji se za sat vremena okrene oko svoje ose pa tako uz rucak mozete uzivati u razgledanju grada....

Loved the people of Albania, eventhough I had a few communication problems, they are friendly and helpsome. Start out at Skanderbeg Square (City Center), make your way to Ethem Bay Mosque and the Clock Tower and for sure go to the Museum and Opera House. Enjoy on of the (1000's it seemed to me) Cafe's. Great City in the Springtime.

look out for the taxi drivers at the airport

Tirana is awesome - I was stuck in Italian hell for two weeks and escaped to Tirana for the weekend in a more sane country! They were having the festival of Albanian beer and it was free beer for everyone. Amazing - old ladies and little kids elbowing their way past me to the bartender to fill up their liter mugs - that was awesome! And I love how the pedestrians have the right of way over cars who have to drive around them... Of course very car in the country seems to have a mercedez steering wheel on their old Yugo and Lada and even crappier Chinese cars!

If you like finding about the history of different countries visit the museum. there are great little art studios dotted all over this city where you can go and watch people paint and view the paintings they have done. Getting into a taxi in albania haggle the price first!!!! In tirana now there are lots of great pubs and clubs

The Blocku section of town is where it's at for night life, just don't expect anyone to know where any streets are located as they are unmarked and often the local don't even know the official names!

Tirana is an amazing city!
I prefer to walk around watching the people on the street. You can be sure there are a lot of people around. I like to sit in the park watching people too. One of the best coffees (I mean cappucinos) you get at Tajvan. In Tajvan is a bowling center too, its not that cheap, but its fun! The best resteraunt I would recommend is "Floga" in Rruga Elbasanit.
Going out is great in Tirana too! Canon-Bar - I think that was the name of a small bar with great music to dance! But there are a lot of other cool bars. A bar which is quite expansive is Buddah-Bar (don't know if its written right!). If you want to have a look around Tirana go to Vodafone tower, upstairs its a bar, I think called Sky Bar. You can have a wonderful look, cause the whole bar is turning around in some minutes. But for that you have to have a good stomach, for me it is too fast, I get a bick sick!

Die schönsti Fraue, geili Stadt.....

Not generic - something different but so interesting and quite pretty. Don't go alone, only with a tour.
