Is this the WORST Capital City Bus Station in Europe? 🇦🇱

- We have seen a few bus stations around Europe and for us this is one of the worst, what makes it even more surprising is that it can be found in Tirana, Albania which we quite often mention as one of the most beautiful cities we have ever visited.
So how can such an incredible city have such a bad bus station and what exactly is so bad about it? Join us in this video to find out why!
Edit: I have since learned that a new bus station is in the process of being built, but I still think this should be documented so we can see what it once was, and when we return to Tirana we will have a good comparison for what the old station was like vs the new station! 🙂

Happy travels 🎉
Cheers mate 🙂❤️
in albania we don't usually have bus stations, we have furgons. but that is also because we have the richest politicians and public officials in europe so yea
Have you been to Copenhagen?
They don't even have a bus station!
The bus "station" I arrived from Vlore was much worse. In fact just an open field with busses.
I don't count that as a bus station. That's more of a car station where they offload long distance travelers. You won't get a nicer one in Zurich either... it's just a large parking lot with car buses.
The new bus station (East Terminal) has been opened for a while and is modern and clean. The only issue is it's 30 minutes out of the the centre of Tirana.
I read a comment recently regarding this, I'm hoping they build a better station for the city itself. Many people visit Tirana by bus and this is the first impression of the city for many, we were shocked when we got into the city centre only to find it was one of the most beautiful places we'd visited in quite some time, the bus station doesn't represent the city well and it deserves better as the contrast between this bus station and the beautiful architecture of the city itself is very surprising.
Ljubljana (Slovenia) isnt much better and thats the main Bus and Train station in one. No seats outside, although you do get a mcdonalds and you can go inside. But luckily we're building a new hub currently and that one will be much better hopefully.
I thought I was the only who hated those phony, overproduced, fake smile and enthusiasm travel channels.
I hate em' man, when I set up this channel I promised to keep it raw and authentic with no music or production, just real experiences that I can share with people passionate about travel. If I like something I will say, and if I don't I won't praise it to appease everyone which a lot of people in the comments are expecting me to do despite being overly positive about the city in most areas. We are glad to see people out there who are tired of these type of travel vlogs and hope to contribute to being one of the travel channels to move away from that style of video. Thanks for watching 🙂❤️
@@TeamMcGrath Good to hear it! YT needs some honest opinions.
There is actually 3 bus stations in Tirana. I have been in every of them and i haven't even think about complaining about them. When travelling with public transportation in Albania you sometimes need relaxed and adventurous mindset because they don't always go on time or there is often cases there is no bus going at all. Luckily if these places are not shiny enough for you, there is plenty of other countries and cities to visit in this planet!
Mate, we traveled on a bus in Oman and got pulled over by the traffic police for our safety (for some reason). We are not adverse to an adventure, and I was just pointing out that for such a modern city with a rich history, architecture and culture which it has clearly invested in, it has failed to invest in it's primary bus station and let me add that we arrived from Montenegro, so it was our first ever look at Tirana and set a negative tone for what was a very pleasant experience, I'm saying the city and it's people deserve better than that. Saying it's not "shiny" enough is a cop out, you should want better for the country too, turning a blind eye to areas for improvement will not help improve anything, pointing this stuff out is what drives change after all. Thanks for commenting regardless, and thank you for letting us know about the other stations too, we shall give them a look when we next visit! 🙂

Tirana is perhaps the worst city I’ve visited in Europe. Negative vibes. Luckly Shkodër saved Albania for me and I haven’t writte the country off completely
Maybe as a major city yes, I'd agree with you. But if we speak generally then there are far worse cities in Europe where tourists have almost nothing to do
ok greek serbian troll
