About Tirana

Sitting between the heavenly Dhërmiu Beach and the stunning protected landscape of Mali me Gropa-Bizë-Martanesh, Tirana is a vibrant and energetic whirlwind of a city. But it hasn’t always been this way…

After its communist slumber in the 1990s the city is almost unrecognisable today, with once-grey buildings now canvases for colour and creativity, and pretty pedestrianised streets, cycling commuters, and abundant green spaces breathing life into the city.
