Tirana, Albania

Is there a discussion forum for Albania?
We are doing the Schengen shuffle and contemplating staying in Tirana for June.

We were in Tirana in fall 2019 and really liked it. The National History Museum is interesting, as is a nearby town Kruje.

There isn’t one here, unfortunately. And if there were, there wouldn’t be many posts.

I was there for 4 days in May last year - and could stay longer. It’s a a relatively small capital city and easy to get around, plus fairly inexpensive. But so much of Albania is gorgeous and interesting that I probably wouldn’t choose a whole month in Tirana unless you are also traveling (or have traveled) to other parts already. Berat and Girokastra are gorgeous - and I never made it to any of the coastal towns but the pictures are amazing. (I don’t count 2 nights in Ksamil as any kind of relevant experience).

But yes, I could see basing there for a month and visiting other cities. Albania is worth experiencing.
