Overview
Do you love local, authentic food and are open to new things? Join our City & Food Tour of Tirana and taste the best of Albanian cuisine in some of the most interesting hidden locations.
This culinary tour will introduce you to traditional Albanian and local cuisine in Tirana. Tirana is an urban metropolis full of contrasts, where the scars of the past and the present are easy to see. But above all, it is the intersection of different eras of Albania's modern history.
It is a city where the fine, filigree architecture of the early 20th century mixes with the brutalism of the communist era. In addition, modern new buildings are flourishing. On this culinary city tour we will discover some of the most interesting parts of the city. And all this in combination with plenty of local delicacies, interesting stories and friendly locals.
