Get ready to explore the heart of Tirana in a truly unique way. Make sure to save some appetite, the city has plenty of flavours waiting for you! Join your friendly guide on a flavourful adventure through the city’s lively streets, hidden corners, and bustling markets. We will begin at a cosy local spot to taste Byrek, a beloved Albanian pastry filled with cheese, spinach, or meat.
Next, we will wander through the colourful Çam Bazaar, where you can bargain for everything from souvenirs to kitchen gadgets, just like the locals do. Along the way, your guide will introduce you to everyday life in Tirana as we stroll through charming alleyways, with opportunities to sample fresh fruits, seasonal treats, and other local flavours.
Our journey continues through Tirana’s vibrant areas to the unusual Bicycle Bazaar, famous for its second-hand treasures and unique finds. Then we will visit the New Bazaar, a lively market area unlike the outdoor sellers we have seen so far. Here, fresh fruits, vegetables, cheeses and other regional specialities are beautifully arranged in colourful stalls, offering a more organised and immersive market experience.
We will round off our day with a hearty traditional Albanian meal, followed by a sweet local dessert.
To top it all off we will have a taste of grape raki, the signature Albanian spirit that locals claim “warms the heart and sparks a smile.” Gezuar!
