Albania looks way better than anything I would have expected based on popular stereotypes, mostly coming from the 1980s. I must go there one day. Thanks, Alina, you make me learn.
this is fact for many developing countries , there are many great places and many not so great places , if you want to portait o country in a certain way you can by being biased.happy to see Albania beating even my own beliefs!
Hi Alina! Tirana is truly a gem! This city, situated in a valley, surrounded by spectacular mountains - only 40 kilometers (25 miles) from the Adriatic Sea, is beautiful, colorful, with plenty of captivating attractions. And high-end restaurants, shopping and tourist attractions are inexpensive! Tirana looks amazing! Thanks for sharing this gem with us, Alina!!!
@@you_and_tirana6056 No, I do not speak Arvanatika or Greek. I was born in Canada to émigré parents from Lithuania. The endings of some Lithuanian names resemble Greek names. But the Lithuanian language is not similar to Arvanatika or Greek. Lithuanian and Latvian are the only two surviving Baltic languages. Thanks for asking.
@@anaramos2802 Tirana is not an old city and of course some interesting things from the past are preserved,, but Albania has some cultural sites from roman era and medieval cities that are very well maintained,, Kruja, Berat, Gjirokaster, Durres, Butrint, etc
The country is small and you can get from the mountain area or if you are in the middle of Albania, you can easily get to the sea in less than 2 hours. The climate is Mediterranean like in Italy or Greece.
@@Original_fat_cat especially from Tirana, it's not more than one hour to drive to the beaches 💕 I spend my summer there every year and I love it! Greetings from Germany
Albania has incredible beaches just like greece and croatia do because the adriatic and ionian coasts are very beautiful. But Albania unlike croatia and greece, is blessed with the natural landscape with alps that look just like switzerland but way cheaper.
My neighbours tried and tried to convince me to go to Albania on our roadtrips but I was very hesitant..........now I will be heading there in spring with my Bulgarian roadtrip gang, thanks for the reassuring information. great vids Alina thank you
Being Italian, from Turin, I am very happy to see that Albania is getting a more and more modern country, neverthless mantaining its strong traditions. Your videos are really gorgeous
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 !!!!!!
@@gabriellagirardi4741 on a funny note........my grandfather fought in WW2 in North Africa and later i Monte Cassino. He told me that they were embarrased to use guns against the Italian army. The Italian army was so incompetent that my granddad's unit could have chased them with brooms and rolled up newspapers !!!!! Italian and French troops were very well known for Mass Surrender without firing a shot . And Il Duce had delusions of reviving the Roman Empire with an army of terrified bakers and Pasta chefs !!!!
Uhh hello greetings from Albania! Even though I know Tirana very well and I live there I still am very curious about what other people think about it. I thank you for actually recommending Tirana to people and even calling it underrated. Great video and keep up the good work!
Totally surprised that you uploaded two videos a day. Thank you so much for the enjoyed videos at Tirana one of my favourite part of the world Thank you so much
Beautiful city! Hope you show us the coastal area too- inspiring to come back from such dark times- definitely an up and coming place, they should be proud ❤️
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.
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!
Who goes to Albania? Alina Mcleod does! Nice to see an often overlooked, ignored, and almost forgotten part of Europe. I long to see all the people and places I was warned about when I was growing up. The bad guys were always from Russia, Albania, and many other Eastern European countries. Thanks for showing and sharing our beautiful world with us.
haha that I do. Yes, it is unfortunate these places get labelled as the 'bad guy' since usually these countries are incredibly hospitable and very safe.
ìts easy to understand. Generally speaking, Albanians, if treated rightfully, they are very nice people and hospitable but if you cross the line then they become aggressive af; they're not scared and confront you directly, ending up with some bruises and so.
@@AlinaMcleod v You are very welcome Alina. excited to see your beautiful videos. Thank you, for all you do. Always best wishes for you. Great channel 👌 👏 🤍🕊❤
Thanx for lightning up this dark december with your videos🌟🎄 -For real Alina! You have some amasing skills in making your videos, so welldone🤘✌ Tirana seems to be a very cool city, I really like what you have shown so far😊 Have a nice evening A! Take care🤗
Superb video with insightful voiceover narration and breathtaking drone footage. I'm seriously impressed with the skyscrapers here. Case in point 1:59- beautifully designed with vibrant colors. Major cities like NYC and Dubai come to my mind when it comes to magnificent architecture, but Tirana's up there as well!
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 did a bicycle tour of Albania in the summer of 2019. After the tour was over, I spent a few days in Tirana. 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.
Been to tirana, it's definitely changing for the better, very modern and underrated. Great video...the lights are beautiful!!! The blloku area is also a nice area!! For people who don't know or think of it as a backward place it's a surprise. Again , another great video!!
@@Wawruto Thats in every balkan country my Serbian friend.Even recognising your own countries mistake need education and intelligence.To blame others is a sign of stupidity and poor education.
Wow amazing video as always. The view from the top reminds me a little bit of Sofia from Vitosha. The cable car, the park and all the area looks great. Thank you!
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.
A Fantastic job! excellent music & editing,narration wow, appreciate the veiw Alina,I definitely would love to go to Albania, It's so Beautiful! Luv&Peace from Sask Canada Cheers 🥂⚘
Hi 🙋🏻♂️ Alina... I like 👍🏻 your this leg of travel 🧭... Bulgaria, Macedonia and now Albania, all 3 are very beautiful countries and I really liked your these videos... hopefully you’ll show us more in the coming holidays and of course in the new year ;)... take care...
Mother Teresa was more of an illusion of a noble-hearted nun. She enjoyed the suffering of the poor and had questionable medical care practices, encouraged the secret baptism of dying people (regardless of their faith and often without their explicit consent), and misused charity funds.
Great job ! It has been impossible for me to go back home for holidays with the pandemic and everything going on. Through your video l went home for 16 min. Thank you 🥰
Thank you very much for making such beautiful videos. :) I personally come from the Balkans (but I come from a country that is a part of the EU) and the Balkan countries that are a part of the EU really underestimate the rest of the peninsula I think. And in some of these countries it is still considered "dangerous" to travel to Albania, Bosnia, Kosovo, etc. But it seems very peaceful and not the way it is presented in the media.
Great video!! I spent only 2 days in Tirana, I am in Saranda now, returning to Tirana in a couple weeks to make some videos.. Saranda has been non stop rain 😤 love this video!!! ❤️❤️
Lovely vlog and concrete information about Tirana.Tirana is beautiful and very clean.since the most of the people understand and speak English, It will be comfortable to a foreigner who visits tirana.your video is informative and enjoyable. It is worth watching your video's spending my precious time.I hope you continue your journey.congrates.
Tirana is a charming city with a lot to offer. The locals are friendly and welcoming, and the food is delicious. There are so many interesting sights to see, including the Skanderbeg Square and the Et'hem Bey Mosque. Overall, I had a great time in Tirana and would definitely recommend it as a destination.
I’m glad you had a good time out there :) if you get a chance get out of Tirana and check out Sarande and the neighboring areas around it. Some of these places get overlooked but they are super pretty and calming in a sense.
Very nice video, with beautiful drone shots of the mountains, many interesting glimpses of the sites and local people. the music you pick is always spot on with great editing. I will never see these fascinating places but through your eyes (and other talented people) and lenses, but that is good enough. Stay safe Beautiful Alina!
Amazing city which I hope to visit one day! Thank you so much for sharing your experience and inspiring us to travel. Happy holidays and I hope you have a happy and healthy 2021!
I truly enjoyed this video Alina. It felt little bit like I was on a trip in Tirana. City seems relatively safe. In times like these, I am so thankful of you for bringing this escape to my phone. ;) Sending Love from Dallas Texas.
Went to Albania twice, I watched this video before going I remember back in 2021, Dec the Skanderbeg Square was more lovely with so many food stalls, rides, it was so lovely. Then I went back last yr again i just love Albania so much I had to go back, amazing food, people are so welcoming and helpful
Wow Alina! I can totally see why you say it has to be the highlight of your trip so far. Ending with the nighttime footage was perfect. Such a beautiful place. I am ready to hop on a plane and get there. Wishing you all the best and a safe,healthy, and blessed Christmas and New Year Miss Alina. Loved this video and all that you do. Cheers
I loved the video. Being a local myself, sometimes you forget how otherS view the city. It was beautiful and accurate. PS: Everything is cheap because of the Exchange Rate 😅 Wishing you and everyone else Happy Holidays!
Hoi, Alina, what a well done Vid to follow during this Thursday OFF work here. Such a number of places seen by myself, really good. Hope that more people find the way to this city/area, nice people and amazing food options there. Superb.

The large n noble hearted Mother Teresa came from here!!
100% true
@nadine correia She was indeed from Macedonia, Albanian from Macedonia.
@nadine correia her family was Albanian but they lived in Macedonia and that’s why she was born there
@nadine correia because more than half of today Macedonia is albanian land from the beginings of time and the population in that land is albanian.
Mother Teresa was more of an illusion of a noble-hearted nun. She enjoyed the suffering of the poor and had questionable medical care practices, encouraged the secret baptism of dying people (regardless of their faith and often without their explicit consent), and misused charity funds.

Went to Albania twice, I watched this video before going I remember back in 2021, Dec the Skanderbeg Square was more lovely with so many food stalls, rides, it was so lovely. Then I went back last yr again i just love Albania so much I had to go back, amazing food, people are so welcoming and helpful
Alina,you made Tirana look great,it does look like a lot of care and time has been placed into the maintenance and style in Tirana, looked great!❤️👍🇬🇧
Thank you! 😊
Hi beautiful
Wow Alina! I can totally see why you say it has to be the highlight of your trip so far. Ending with the nighttime footage was perfect. Such a beautiful place. I am ready to hop on a plane and get there. Wishing you all the best and a safe,healthy, and blessed Christmas and New Year Miss Alina. Loved this video and all that you do. Cheers
Thank you very much and likewise!
Wonderful photography&narration,thank u Aleena.
First time to see u . I’m loving your videos. I’m happy that u like our town.Love from 🇦🇱
No doubt, the City Tirana is beautiful but Alina you are more beautiful than Tirana.
Thank you for sharing captivating sights of Tirana with us.
I loved the video. Being a local myself, sometimes you forget how otherS view the city. It was beautiful and accurate.
PS: Everything is cheap because of the Exchange Rate 😅
Wishing you and everyone else Happy Holidays!
Thank you and likewise!
Wonderful! You look more confident in Tirana today. Thanks
Hoi, Alina, what a well done Vid to follow during this Thursday OFF work here. Such a number of places seen by myself, really good. Hope that more people find the way to this city/area, nice people and amazing food options there. Superb.
The Balkans seem to be a good value for western travelers..... and the food looks delicious. Love that Charlie Brown music at the end! --JH
But Abania is not in the balkans
The food here is amazing!
@@Bot-sc4hs There is not universal agreement as to what comprises the Balkans. The Encyclopedia Britannica includes Albania in the Balkans. Different people may have different views. www.britannica.com/place/Balkans
@@Bot-sc4hs What?!?!
@@Bot-sc4hs Right!It is Illyrian peninsula!
such a beautuful country..only in my dreams..
Love the opening music.
I haven't travelled overseas since October 2019 and would do almost anything to be in a place like that, in good company and with a beer in my hand.
I came home November 2019 ...was supposed to be in Italy in April... now hopefully Albania next April :)
@@Chahlie Glad to hear that. Enjoy your travels.
It's a beautiful country. I'm an ethnic Albanian that lives in the USA. I miss it so much.
