Tirana

Touted as being the next European hotspot, Albania's capital city is quickly becoming a popular travel destination-and for good reason too! With a thriving culinary screen, postcard landscapes, legendary nightlife and both modern and classic architecture, there is plenty to see, experience and taste.

With Albania's bid to enter the EU, there's a massive push to increase tourism and develop Tirana's popular city sites. They recently transformed one of the underground, soviet-era bunkers into a fascinating museum and created free city walking tours for visitors. The good news is Albania is still relatively untouched by mass tourism, so now is the prime time to visit!
