It's difficult not to come to Tirana with some preconceptions, possibly negative. They will be dispelled in minutes. Welcoming locals (particularly towards Americans), quirky architecture, and crazy cheap and fabulously tasty local food. That's the impression you'll leave with.
Charlie
Marketing Director
Tirana hosts most of Albania's universities, which makes for youthful culture, and the city offers more to see every year. Many young Albanians raised abroad have started returning lately, founding new restaurants, cafes, and cultural sites, out of a love for Albania's culture and traditions.
