Albania, a hidden gem nestled in the southeastern region of Europe, is often regarded as Europe’s best kept secret. Enclosed by Montenegro to the northwest, Kosovo to the northeast, North Macedonia to the east, and Greece to the south, Albania sits at the edge of the sparkling blue Adriatic and Ionian Seas. It is famed for its unique blend of civilizations and cultures, with diverse influences from the Greeks, Romans, Ottomans, and Byzantines. A paradise for history buffs, it boasts numerous ancient archaeological sites, striking castles, and Ottoman architecture. Adventure seekers are drawn to its stunning landscapes, featuring rugged mountains, rolling hills, tranquil lakes, and idyllic beaches. Albania's vibrant cities, including vibrant Tirana and historic Berat, offer a thriving nightlife, culinary delights, and myriad arts festivals.

Albania overall was a really interesting country. People were super super friendly. A local person will definitely talk to you or make you laugh with good jokes whenever they find a chance even if you have 0 languages in common and they have a deep sense of humor which makes it better. Food is amazing consisting mostly dishes with red meat and dairy products. There are natural wonders everywhere in country open to public and free of charge. 
The biggest downside to country is that it seriously lacks urban infrastructure. Never expect to find a big social city in here. It’s difficult to even pay with credit card in here. 

This is a country with amazing beaches in south and and very cool natural hikes in north. This is a really good country for nature lovers wanting to escape from crowded mainstream touristic countries. The locals dont know English that much. I would really reccomend you to go to Gjipe canyon/beach in Himare, which is also a spot for climbers. And dont forget to see the blue eye theth, shkodra lake, koman lake, berat, and albanian alps. That’s all from mee

Tirana is a lively, vibrant and peaceful city at the same time. I stayed 1+ month in Tirana with my boyfriend and really enjoyed how walkable it is and how easy it is to get around. You can get a hybrid taxi to the airport / day trips or get the bus (very frequent) at the clock tower near the square (L11 for Dajte Mountain and the Bunkart1 only 40 lek - you can pay on the bus). I highly recommend visiting both Bunkart museums and going up the mountain with the cable car where you can enjoy some views and play minigolf (the cable car ride is 1400 lek and 7000 for the minigolf)

During Christmas time there was always something going on at the main square: games, markets and concerts with Albanian artists every night

Avoid bar-restaurants that offer "traditional" food as it's not really traditional and overpriced. Going to bakeries etc will give you a better and cheaper experience
