My travel adventure in November 2022 was the city of Tirana in Albania! Contrary to what you think, Albania is very safe both day and night and the country faces the modern world with the construction of towers throughout the city. The place is very cheap, I spent about 200 Euros for a week without missing anything.
My experience has been both positive and negative, one of the best things I found was the food that is good and cheap and the definitely failed aspect is the nightlife (of which I invite you to read the dedicated article in the "Travel Tells" section). The most beautiful thing I have found in Albania is the people, friendly, cheerful and very welcoming! It is also not difficult to find people who speak Italian or English. Before going to Tirana you should still consider that it would be good to take out health insurance (as an Extra-European country) and that it is necessary to buy an Albanian SIM card as your current rate will not work in this country. The city center is nice to see and is full of life during the day (empty at night) and there are numerous places that deserve a mention, one among many BunkArts or real Bunkers transformed into beautiful museums that tell the history of Albania, in addition I had the opportunity to celebrate (on November 28, 2022) with the local population in the square the 110th Anniversary of the Another important mention goes to the new stadium in Tirana or Air Albania Stadium, with a modern and unique design. In the end, I was particularly impressed by the Liqeni artificial lake with its dam and the park that surrounds it. In Tirana you will also find numerous shopping centers and markets for the city to shop. Despite this, I have called this trip of mine a half-time holiday due to the non-existent and disappointing nightlife. In Tirana there are also various casinos open 24 hours for those who love gambling and lots of fast food. I invite you to read the article dedicated to the nightlife of Tirana (in the "Travel Tells" section and watch the videos and the Vlog about Tirana (which you find at the top of this page).
