Experience Tirana, the dynamic capital of Albania and one of Europe’s fastest-changing cities. This isn't just a list of facts and dates. As young locals who have lived through this transition, we will share the personal stories of how our families saw the city evolve. We’ll show you where the bunkers were hidden, why the buildings were painted in "crazy" colors, and where the best local espresso (and the best cocktails) are hidden in 2026.
