🇦🇱 My first day in Tirana, Albania — full walking tour, local SIM card guide, currency exchange, and first impressions of Albania’s capital city. This episode kicks off my Tirana Albania travel vlog series as I explore the city center, visit Skanderbeg Square, exchange money into Albanian LEK, and experience traditional Albanian music in the streets.

🎒 In this Tirana travel vlog, you’ll see:
– How to buy a SIM card in Tirana, Albania
– Where to exchange money (Albanian LEK)
– What to expect in Skanderbeg Square
– Traditional Albanian music and street life
– Honest first impressions of Tirana
– Getting lost in the city center of Tirana

If you're searching for things to do in Tirana, how to travel in Albania, or what Tirana is really like, this video gives you an unfiltered look at the capital of Albania in 2025.

We’ll explore cities built on ancient Greek and Roman foundations, towns shaped by Ottoman legacy, and modern neighborhoods still shaking off the shadows of dictatorship.
Albania isn’t polished—it’s authentic. And that’s exactly why you need to see it.

🕌 Ever heard of Berat, the “City of a Thousand Windows”? Or Gjirokastër, a city carved in stone and frozen in time?
🏖️ What about Ksamil and Saranda, with their turquoise waters and beach bars still blissfully crowd-free?
These places are starting to catch the world’s attention—but for now, they remain underrated, affordable, and full of soul.

📌 I’ll show you both the famous highlights and the hidden corners. I take local buses, eat home-cooked meals, walk backstreets, and ask real people what life is like in Albania today.

So, whether you're dreaming of your next Mediterranean escape, curious about post-communist history, or just love a good road less traveled—you’re in the right place.
