✈️ Tirana International Airport Nënë Tereza (TIA), also known as Rinas Airport, is Albania's primary international gateway.

☀️ We arrived early, and staying in the city centre is highly recommended for convenience and easy access to main attractions. Most of the popular tourist attractions are located within walking distance.

😍 Tirana is surprisingly a beautiful city, full of vibrant energy and colorful charm. The streets are lined with lively cafes, striking murals, and a mix of architectural styles that reflect its complex history.

Green spaces like the Grand Park and the artificial lake offer peaceful escapes from the urban bustle, making Tirana not just interesting, but genuinely pleasant to explore.

🥘 I had the chance to sample the local cuisine, which features a mix of Albanian, Greek, Italian, English, and Turkish influences. However, during my walk, I noticed that Asian food options were quite limited.

📍We were able to visit several 🆓 notable landmarks and sights in a single day, even with a 3.5-year-old toddler in tow.
