The Australian tabloid “Herald Sun” describes Tirana as the most underrated city in Europe.
Journalist Dilvin Yasa shares her 48-hour experience in Albania in an informative article, describing her itinerary to some of the main tourist spots in the capital.
“Tirana has all the ingredients for the perfect European getaway: a curious history that tips its hat at both its strong Ottoman backbone and the horrors (and architecture) of Communism, complemented with a bustling night-life and dining scene.
Proximity to spectacular Unesco World Heritage-listed towns? You’re only ever a short drive away from the castle-centric destinations of Krujë and Berat. The dazzling Albanian Riviera, meanwhile, isn’t far away, and those who want quick access to a classic resort town will only have to travel 30 minutes to Durrës.
Add to that a distinct lack of summertime crowds and cheap-as-chips pricing, and you’ve got the perfect European go-to. How has Tirana, or Albania in general, managed to fly under the radar for so long?”.
