Tirana City Breaks
Leave your preconceived ideas behind, as Tirana is a city that is rediscovering itself. Wander around the streets of Albania's pocket-sized capital and stroll along the Boulevard of the Martyrs, where you will find colourful apartment blocks, re-opened Et'hem Bey Mosque and elegant government buildings.
Peruse Tirana's Turkish bazaars and chic boutiques and then join the evening stroll before sipping a coffee at one of the pavement cafés and trying traditional Albanian cuisine at one of the friendly family-run restaurants.

Regent Recommends...
Albania may not be known for its cuisine, but we can recommend the Sarajet restaurant in Tirana, not only for the venue but for the food. Housed in a characterful family home, the food served here keeps Albanians and foreign visitors alike coming back for more. Make sure you book, especially if you want to dine on the charming open-air terrace.
Tirana's Museums & Galleries...
Visit Tirana's Fine Arts Gallery for Socialist Realist artworks and the National History Museum situated on bustling Skanderbeg Square to learn about Albania's totalitarian years. You can't miss the huge mosaic which dominates the front of the building and represents the development of Albania's history, depicting everyone from Illirians to partisans.
