We begin the Tirana tour by meeting your guide in the given location. After a brief welcome and introduction to the day’s plan, we take a short walk together to our first stop—an inviting local eatery where we ease into the day with some authentic Albanian flavors. At this cozy private spot, you’ll enjoy a light traditional breakfast-style meal featuring Lakror, a signature Albanian pie made with hand-stretched dough and typically filled with vegetables, herbs, or cheese. It’s a humble yet iconic dish that reflects the heart of rural Albanian cooking. Alongside the lakror, we’ll sample locally made cheeses and fruit jams, offering a sweet and savory balance that’s simple, satisfying, and deeply rooted in Albanian tradition.

Pazari i Ri

Our journey continues with a visit to one of Tirana’s most colorful and lively neighborhoods – the New Bazaar. Recently revitalized, this historic market area blends old-world charm with modern Albanian culture. As we stroll through its bustling streets, you’ll discover local produce, artisanal goods, and authentic crafts. We’ll take a relaxing break here to enjoy some local refreshments. Try ‘bozë’, a traditional Albanian drink made from fermented corn and sugar – sweet, slightly tangy, and a unique taste of the region’s heritage. You’ll also have the chance to cool off with some locally made ice cream, a favorite among both locals and visitors for its rich flavor and creamy texture. Take this time to soak in the atmosphere, snap some photos, and experience the everyday life of Tirana in one of its most beloved gathering spots.
