You can catch an event at Air Albania Stadium, located 0.7 mi (1.1 km) from central Tirana.
If you think Air Albania Stadium is cool, you also might like Selman Stermasi Stadium, located nearby.
Whether you want to collect beach glass or watch the sunset, Beach of Mirrors is a spot you might want to check out, located 2.9 mi (4.6 km) from central Ksamil. Catch the sunset by the shore at Pigeons Cave Beach, just a short walk away.
If you're planning a bit of sightseeing during your trip, head to Skanderbeg Square— just one of the monuments in central Tirana. You could also start your cultural experience by heading over to the museums in the area.
Don't visit Tirana without stopping off at Toptani Shopping Center, a famous shop that should make the top of your list. Splash some more cash at Pazari i Ri, Tirana Castle, and New Bazaar.
When the beach is calling your name, you might want to head down to Saranda Beach in the heart of Sarandë. Enjoy the sunset by the shore at Mango Beach, Beach of Mirrors, and Pigeons Cave Beach.
Staff let me stash my bags while I explored the castle for 5 hours, and then again after checkout while I walked around town. Room was super clean, and the shower was the best I've had in awhile. Also enjoyed the complimentary breakfast, which was a full meal and not just a pastry. View from the room was pretty great, too. Heads up to open a window when you shower, or the bedroom will fill up with steam. Would definitely stay again next time I'm in Berat.

Staff was very helpful and prompt, even went extra in finding us a print shop that was open late. It was a very pleasant place to stay; we felt very safe.

The room was so beautiful and cozy with nice views of the mountains and town. Our hotel host, Sonni, was so amazing!! He was extremely hospitable, helpful and did speak English. He cleaned mine and my daughter's room Every Day and made the best home-made Albanian breakfast! His wife is a guide at the Krujë office and was also very kind to me and my daughter on our visit. Lovely family and hotel. I would definitely stay again!

We were so impressed with this establishment! The woman at the desk was incredibly helpful, even helping us figure out how to make space for everything in our room. We paid for the laundry service and got it back the next morning, all folded and neat for us. She also let us park out front and keep our parking place several hours after we had checked out so that we could tour the Gjirokaster castle. This was invaluable as driving and parking in Gjirokaster is harrowing. Breakfast was included...

It was a privilege to stay in the old town next to the castle in Gjirokaster. High above the modern city, next to castle and the old bazaar, it was not only convenient but an experience of a life from another time.
Ever wonder what it’s like living way up on the hill in the castle? Last night residing in the old town, adjoining the castle, was that experience. Too high for any city lights to penetrate, it was dark skies. Only the stars and a sliver of the moon. No sound. Not traffic,...
