Creator tips for Tirana
For traditional Albanian dishes served in an authentically local setting, Oda is a standout choice, pairing well-made food with warm service and charming surroundings.
Under communism, the Blloku district was reserved for Albania's ruling class and off-limits to everyday citizens; only after the regime fell in 1991 did it open up and gradually become a neighborhood anyone could enjoy.
Unusually for a capital, Tirana has no central bus terminal, so buses tend to leave you at an arbitrary spot around town, be ready to flag down a taxi from wherever you're dropped.
Basing yourself right on the outskirts of Blloku, to its north or west, is a nice balance, you get a quiet residential feel while remaining only a few minutes on foot from the livelier action.
