𝗧𝗜𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗔 𝗔𝗟𝗕𝗔𝗡𝗜𝗔 - Why Is Tirana Becoming So Popular?

Tirana Albania is not as well known as other capital cities in Europe. But it should be more acclaimed known because it has so much to offer. Tirana has so much to offer the short term traveler, the long term resident, and expats a like. In this video we will discuss 10 things that we think are great about Tirana, and two things about Tirana that we wish could be improved.

An apartment in Tirana similar to the one we showed on the video can be rented for about US$800 per month on Airbnb or for about US$450-$600 per month plus utilities on a one-year lease.
Everyone lives a different lifestyle, and it's impossible to know exactly how much you would be spending in Tirana, Albania. Here is a sample montly budget for us if we were living in Tirana, based on our personal lifestyle (in US dollars, for two people):
$650 Housing and Utilities

$1550 TOTAL

I was in Albania in the early 90’s. It’s wonderful to see such growth and a much happier feel in Tirana. Brings back lots of memories.

[@snailtravelers]

Thank you Edy, I remember you telling me about that trip. I was there in 1991 and will make a video comparing what it was like back then with what it is like now, so stay tuned. It has changed a lot!

[@user-vt2un1dz2e]

I was born in 1996, but even in my childhood it was such a rough place. Not comparison with nowadays

[@travelrefocused]

I always appreciate that you touch on the good and not so good, as well as realistic costs. Keep up the good work.

[@snailtravelers]

Thanks, as always, for your support and for watching our videos! I think you guys would love Albania and hope you can go there someday.

Hello Snail Travelers! Subscriber here and we are in Albania too!! We are in Saranda! We came in from Greece and will be traveling up through Albania into Montenegro and Croatia. We love Saranda and excited to get to Tirana. Albania has so many places to see we hope we can get there. Thank you for your video and looking forward to more! I especially like the ones you did in Malaysia .

[@snailtravelers]

Thank you so much! I'm sure you're loving Albania, it is terrific! We also visited Sarande and loved it too. Thanks for watching our videos and subscribing to our channel.

[@snailtravelers]

How much time will you be spending in Albania?

[@msmargiek48]

@@snailtravelers We leave for Volra on the 5th for a couple days, hoping to go to Barat, then Tirana or Durres, moving to Schkoder then a couple days in Theth in the mountains. All in all we want to be in Montengro on the 14th of June. Moving fast this trip.

[@keithhodgson6489]

[@snailtravelers]

Thank you for watching yet again! We appreciate your dedication to our channel.

[@wildbill6366]

I spent 2 1/2 months in Albania.. it's a beautiful country with great food and nice people.. Spent 2 weeks in Sarande and loved it .. the area by the park is the nicest and most expensive. Blloku or Block as the locals call it .. Great area..

[@snailtravelers]

Thanks for watching! We have several more videos from Albania coming up.

[@tolykozin]

Lovely to see you reminiscing about the places you remember from your childhood. We all fondly remember the things that are no longer there but we also forget some of the non so pleasant things from the past. Thank you for taking us all on your journey , God bless !

[@snailtravelers]

Thank you very much for your kind words and for taking the time to make this comment!

[@user-cf3tw6fe8v]

I worked there in the early 90s. I hope to someday go back and see what has changed over the years.

[@snailtravelers]

I also hope you can go back someday too! I was also there in the early 90s, and it has changed a lot. I just released a video comparing Albania between 1991 and now that you might find interesting. Thanks for watching!

I've been seeing more KZbin videos about Albania lately. It's where John and James Belushi's family is from. I am hoping you will do a video on Sarandë, Albania. It's right on the coast and is an affordable place to live.

[@snailtravelers]

Next month's video will most likely be from Sarandë Albania, so stay tuned! Thanks for watching.

[@BillGreenAZ]

@@snailtravelers excellent! I can't wait!

[@travelaroundlife]

thanks

[@sizzlemann]

We look to use Albania to get out of Schengen in the future. But we'll probably go to Saranda. We hear that's a good spot for expats.

[@snailtravelers]

Albania is a great place for non-Schengen time. Next month's video will be from Sarande, so stay tuned!

[@Spiritualwarfare587]

12$ is fair price for taxi in tirana due to heavy traffic and albanian lek has gone up more then 20% in last years

[@snailtravelers]

Good information, thanks for sharing!

Malaysia is the most loved country in Asia as it ranks high on all metrics considered in Insider Monkey research. It is the sixth most democratic country on the continent. Moreover, it is the fifth most visited country in Asia, welcoming over 10 million travelers in 2022. People head to the Southeast Asian country to not just get an experience of its stunning beaches and posh city life, but also explore the local culture and tradition, which is enriched by hospitable and friendly locals.

[@wildbill6366]

That's really off topic we're not talking about Malaysia...👎
