Experience in Tirane, Albania by Anisa

How much does it cost to live in Tirane?

Living in Tirane is not very expensive. For me as a student it costs at least 200 Euros (with some entertainment too).

Is it difficult to find accommodation in Tirane? Is there any advice you can give?

It is not difficult to find accommodation in Tirane. It is difficult to find accommodation reasonable priced combined with good conditions. But my advice is: Do not accept first offer, wait for the second.

What places would you recommend visiting in Tirane?

I would recommend to visit castle of Petrela situated in the periphery of Tirana. Inside of Tirana: Nene Tereza'', square ''Skenderbeg''. Another place near Tirana is Dajti mountain. In winter, the mountain is often covered with snow, and it is a popular retreat for locals and foreigners too, where you can have a nice weekend enjoying a picnic barbeque party, different sports and games.

Is it good to eat out in Tirane? Can you tell us your favourite spots?

Yes, there are some specific places that are very good. A place that is very good and low cost: ''Zgara Korcare''. There you can enjoy delicious food with a nice beer. Another place that I usually go is ''Bakalli'' near the square of Skenderbeg. It is a beautiful, quite place where you can try different food.
