Tirana, an unmissable budget friendly destination 🇦🇱

#cheaptravel One of Europe’s lesser known cities, Tirana might not have made it onto your travel radar just yet but I think that it’s fair to say that the Albanian capital is a trendy and up-and-coming destination for a European city break. Known for its warm hospitality, fascinating history, and stunning landscapes, Tirana provides an incredible experience at a fraction of the cost of many other European capitals. Whether you’re drawn to its rich culture, delicious cuisine, or outdoor adventures, this Balkan city offers great value for money—making it an ideal choice for a budget-friendly getaway. Here’s my take on the best things to do in Tirana, Albania: 1. Skanderbeg Square Named after the Albanian national hero, George Kastrioti Skanderbeg and is a good place to start your Tirana city break sightseeing. 2. Namazgah Mosque 🕌, one of the largest in the Balkans. 3. Tirana Castle 🏰, transformed into a pedestrianised space full of small shops, restaurants and bars. It’s a quirky and charming area that makes for a lovely place to hit pause. 4. Tirana Clock Tower🗼, offering panoramic views across Tirana. 5. Et’hem Bey Mosque 🕌 6. The New Bazaar (Pazari i Ri) 🎁 7. Pyramid of Tirana 🔺
