As Albania’s capital since 1920, Tirana is a dynamic city shaped by its Ottoman, Italian, and communist past. Your hotel places you steps away from attractions, cafes, and shops that showcase the city’s vibrant energy. When evening falls, head to “Blloku,” the city’s most lively district, known for its stylish bars and cafes. Once an exclusive area for political elites, it’s now open to everyone, offering an ambiance perfect for unwinding.
