About this tour

Colourful streets • Budget-friendly escape • Buzzing nightlife

Explore the vibrant capital of Albania with this 2-night getaway featuring ultra-cheap direct flights from London. Tirana is a city of colourful streets, rich history, and buzzing nightlife, making it a fantastic budget-friendly destination for a short break. Whether you’re wandering through Blloku’s trendy cafés, exploring the city’s Ottoman-era architecture, or taking a day trip to Mount Dajti, this trip offers an exciting mix of culture, adventure, and affordability.

Voyara Insider’s personal note: Tirana was one of the first cities I travelled to solo (in Jan 2024), and by the end of the year I had already been three times. It’s an incredibly nice city to visit, easy to walk around, and perfect when you’re on a budget. So if you want a perfectly-organised trip from someone who has already done all the research for you, contact us through The Itinerary Architect and we’ll make your dream trip happen!

  • Wander through Skanderbeg Square, the heart of Tirana.
  • Explore Blloku, the city’s trendiest area for cafés, bars, and nightlife.
  • Take the Dajti Ekspres cable car for stunning mountain views.
  • Visit the Bunk'Art museums to uncover Albania’s Cold War history.

2V1 Center Apartments

These apartments are located right in the city centre, close to everything there is to see, shops, cafés and buses. I have personally stayed here twice, in September before flying to Bari, and in December, and I always recommend this apartment.

  • Modern apartment with everything you need.
  • Next to Skanderberg Square, and close to the city's main attractions.
  • Near one of my favourite cafés in the world (Le Bon), which has amazing pastries and food for cheap.
  • A fabulous 9.3/10 rating on Booking.com, with guests praising its great location and amenities.

The apartment is £32 per night (£63 total for 2 people, 2 nights) on Booking.com, which shows how well priced this city is.

Voyara's Insider Tip: We strongly recommend being part of Booking.com's Genius programme. It is completely free, and in the majority of cases you get a discount (the more stays you book, the larger the discount). For this deal, it brings our price down to £57 total (£29/night), which makes this deal even better. We're Level 3 Genius members, so the discount is larger, but even if you've never booked before, it will most likely give you around 10% off. Any discount is a good deal!

Voyara's Recommended Experiences:

  • Ride the Dajti Ekspres cable car for stunning city and mountain views.
  • Visit Bunk’Art 1 & 2, former bunkers turned into museums.
  • Take a day trip to Krujë, a historic town with a medieval castle.
  • Enjoy the nightlife in Blloku, Tirana’s trendiest district.

Voyara's Local Insights:

  • The Rinas Express bus is the cheapest way to get from the airport to the city (it's 24 hours and costs 4€.
  • Use Bolt or taxis for getting around since public transport is limited.
  • Many places only accept cash, so carry euros and exchange them there (ATMs charge extortionate fees).

Voyara-approved Restaurants & Cafés

  • Le Bon is one of my favourite cafés and bakeries in the world, with an endless selection of tasty pastries for a low price.
  • Oda is a must when you're here, as they offer Albanian food in a traditional environment (without breaking the bank). When you go, make sure to ask to sit downstairs, as it'll make you feel as if you were having dinner at a local grandma's house—trust me on this one.
  • Komiteti is a vintage-style café offering raki tastings.

Sometimes the best way of seeing a city's main attractions is doing it through booked tours and activities. We recommend you book these through Viator.com (4.3 stars on Trustpilot); we've used them countless times and they've never disappointed.

Voyara Insider's personal note: I recommended taking a day trip to Durrës—it's a calm coastal city located a 45-minute bus ride away from Tirana, it's easy to walk around and it has some must-visit sights (my favourite one is the Royal Villa, definitely recommend it!).
