Tirana - a city that seemingly never sleeps, full of friendly faces and featuring surprises hidden around every corner. Albania’s compact capital draws an abundance of visitors, from budget backpackers looking for pastures new to entrepreneurs with an eye on the city’s emerging investment opportunities.

We have a look at agrotourism and farm-to-table trends, go on a day trip to Kruja and spend quality time in some nuclear bunkers.

The guide provides everything its title promises - packed full of useful and entirely independent information about the city from the best sights to visit during a whistle-stop stay to the best restaurants in the city to where to buy painkillers in the middle of the night on your way home from a nightclub.

We hope you enjoy exploring Tirana as much as we do writing about it. We welcome all tips and comments at publishing@landways.eu.
