Not too long ago Mussolini invaded Albania. Albanians fought back viciously ( with weapons of the 1800s) and almost kicked out the invading Italians. Mussolini's Uncle Adolph had to step in to bail out the Italians. Different matter, that the next invasion by Italy ................... invasion of Greece was an embarrassing and a humiliating route for Il Duce !!!!! There, again, his Uncle Adolph bailed out his sorry pasta dripping ass !!!!!!

WOW, Alina, I'm impressed as well! I had no idea that Tirana was so cool! The food looked very tasty and affordable, and the atmosphere and style of the places you went to was like what I would expect in a very modern city in another part of the world, NOT Albania. The choices you're making for your music just keep getting better all the time dear, I'm impressed! What was the female singer's name that sang that wonderful rendition of 'Oh Christmas Tree'? Very cool! AND I want to say that your video/cinematography of the Christmas lights after dark in the downtown area was truly beautiful, Alina! VERY good work!

Thank you! Not sure about the name of the female singer sadly.

Much of the early modern architecture is Italian, when Fascist Italy either influenced the country or occupied it. Florestano Di Fausto and Armando Brasini were important architects in the design of the modern city. Post war buildings are from the Communist period. Despite the shadow of totalitarian regimes in the city’s past, Tirana has a unique charm from being a Balkan mountain city and it does have a lot to offer to today’s Western tourists.

Albania has a very good position if you want to keep it as a base and visit the Balkans. It takes you ( estimated) 2-3 hours to visit whole Montenegro, 4 hours to end up in Dubrovnik ( Croatia), 3 hours to visit Pristina or other Kosova towns, 4 hours to visit Macedonia and 4-5 hours to visit Thessaloniki in Greece. Or you can stay a night over in Serbia, Bosnia, Croatia, Bulgaria, Istanbul and Athens as they are a bit more further away than the previous ones. With the new highways being built everywhere in Albania and in other neighbouring countries it is so easy to get everywhere these days.

I’m planning to go see my friend in Tirana in the near future and these videos 1000% make me want to go more! Thankyou!❤️😍

I had a fabulous meal at Oda, also got a filling, cheap lunch in the food court of the shopping mall shown in the video. And I went to the supermarket in the bottom floor of that mall, and bought the best-tasting apple I've ever eaten there.

Hi Alina, awesome video that's great, merry Christmas and Happy New year, lot's of love from Mumbai India

very beautiful scenary Alina

Visiting today you’ll see that we’ve already changed a lot in just 2 years. A couple of attractions in Tirana that I also recommend visiting are the newly rebuilt Tirana Zoo, The Botanical Zoo(which is currently being renovated), the Museum of Sciences, The Art Gallery, Latitude(an indoor arial park), the artificial lake, Dajti Adventure park and other smaller attractions. Nonetheless Tirana has changed quite a bit in the last 2 years. I’d recommend that anyone coming to visit rent out an apartment or a hotel near the artificial lake or along one of the main streets such as “Rruga e Durrësit(Durrës Street)” as they tend to be less expensive at times but still are not too far away and very easy locations from which to get to the city centre. Either way I hope my comment was informative and helpful to anyone who may have read it. If you have any questions feel free to ask them. Thank you for your attention and goodbye.
