Tirana (pronounced: Tih-rana) is the capital and the largest city (2005 est. pop. 700,000) of Albania. It is the administrative, cultural, economic, and industrial center of the Republic of Albania.
One of the things you can do in Tirane is visit the Opera. The facilities are not exactly the best out there but overall you should be pleased. At least the this traveler liked it.
If you visit Tirana one of the must-see places is Dajti. Few
years ago it was not that popular because it was relatively far from Tirana but
now with the cable car, the trips last about 14 minutes and the 2-way ticket is
500 lek($5+). Dajti is becoming a fairly popular place.
There are numerous places to hang out but the main area is Blloku. There are plenty of pubs and places to hang arround. If you walk from downtown, pass Shallvaret, pass the small bridge and enter the main street. If you take te first right you can find a couple of places that have live music, usually around 10 or so. If you take the 3rd street there is Buddha Bar and others. Basically walk around and find something you like.
