Dane and Stacey join a local food tour on their first day in Tirana, tasting Albanian cuisine and sharing first impressions of the city.

"One thing you must do in Tirana is try traditional Albanian cuisine in a traditional setting. Here you will find quality food, friendly staff and beautiful decor! Oda is one of the best places to eat in Tirana."
"For about 40 years, Blloku was restricted to the political elite of Albania. Ordinary people were not allowed in. When communism fell in 1991, Blloku began its transformation into a neighborhood for all."
"Tirana is one of few world capitals without a central bus station. Plan on getting dropped off on a random street corner and grabbing a cab!"
"I’ve stayed on the edges of Blloku (just north and west of it), which gave the perfect combination of a calm residential atmosphere with just a 5-minute walk to where the action is."
