One of the most interesting things that attract the eye of tourists in Tirana is definitely the colorful façades of the city.

“Albania’s lively capital Tirana is a melting pot of culture and the beating heart of this fascinating country. After communism fell in 1992 Tirana was given a makeover, and this once restricted and dull city was flipped upside down – it was painted with bright colors, streets were lined with bars and restaurants, and public squares popped up all over the city.”

To get a better experience in Tirana, Momondo recommends a weekend break, visiting musuems, murals street art and in the evenings mingle with locals on trendy bars.

“A weekend in Tirana is best spent checking out the array of top-notch museums, admiring the murals that are scattered around the city and bar crawling. During winter it’s the centre of Albanian nightlife when locals return from their summer work elsewhere.”
