- First Impressions of TIRANA, ALBANIA!
In this video, we are exploring the wonderful capital city of Albania, Tirana.
We were welcomed into the country with kindness from strangers and amazing hospitality from our Airbnb hosts. Tirana has an amazing coffee and food culture, which we loved and indulged in at every chance! We enjoyed every moment in this vibrant city and will always remember the kindness we were shown while traveling here!
Thanks for watching! If you enjoyed this video like, comment, and subscribe!

How awesome is Albania ?! We were blown away by how much Tirana has to offer, and the Albanian hospitality lived up to the hype !
It's so awesome! We started our world travel there this year and fell it love. Great video!
As an Albanian I just wanted to say that I wish I as a Albanian got the same “hospitality” my people offer foreigners 😂. I just wanted to warn you that my people are very manipulative, some people will be nice to you to try and get money from you, I’m not trying to put down my own people, but it’s just something common.
Well in fact i think the total opossite. I think is a shit hole! Bad roads, people drive like crazy, nobody say thankyou or please, if u walk on road sighns they run you over, rubish are everywhere, animals treated like shit, police are like donkeys ... do u want me to still go... endles. Is a shit hole! Im albanian by the way but not like this albanians wich like just compliments hmmm no no no is a shity place ! Full stop!

@@SammyandTommy Definitely, I spent a year and six month in Kosovo as a peacekeeper. As a Puerto Rican, American, avid traveler and coffee addict, with 33 countries under my belt. I speak from experience. I fell in love with the Albanian people during that time frame, And have a deep love and understanding of Eastern Europe. Which is why plan to retire to Bulgaria. My love affair with Eastern Europe Albanians and their coffee, Start with a peacekeeping mission. And I also hope to visit Albania again this year, which why I stumbled upon your video.
That’s awesome! We loved our time in Eastern Europe as well. Where in Bulgaria do you plan on retiring? We agree the ☕️ is so amazing!
@@SammyandTommy Probaly Varna on the Black Sea. I have visited Sofia many times made friends over the years. Even went to a wedding 3 years ago. Love those people..
Yes such great people! Once you get settled, retired, and ready to host new friends we got your back 😃 🍻

Yes we loved our time there! Thanks so much for subscribing we really appreciate it. We will definitely check out your channel 🤗 Thanks Kostandiina!
This video is a little old i guess😅 , you have no idea how much tirana has changed since that day, 25-20 new towers have been built, a lot more pedestian areas , more trees , and the pyramid is under recounstruction(becoming the biggest IT center in Balkans) , you defenetly need to come back😍😍
It is a little old, we are definitely coming back after the pandemic! We will have to check out all the new stuff! Thanks so much for watching 💖🤗
very nice video and welcome in albania
Thank you! 😃
Albania it’s Amazing Nice. You are great to 👍
Albania was wonderful, Thanks for watching!
❤️🇦🇱
If you ever decide to revisit Croatia, I recommend visiting a village called Lucane near Split. It has some beautiful mountains and places to stay and a beautiful ravine called bubalo! 😊
Sounds great! Thanks so much for the recommendation. We will check it out. Thanks for watching Maro man!
Great video but I am confused when this video was made looks like pre Covid -19 era 😂🤣🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱🇽🇰🇽🇰🇽🇰🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks so much! Yes it was filmed pre covid :)
@@SammyandTommy oh that's really sad to hear . I'm looking for a place in Europe where no measurements against flu excist, like in Texas or Florida.

Lovely couple, welcome to Albania
Thank you so much 🥰🤗
This seems to be a very charming place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future when all this is over. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much!
Hopefully you can visit soon 🤞 Thanks for watching!
The mosque is not actually under renovation. It is being built brand new.
Very beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
Last year right? 😍
Yes! Pre-COVID times
15:09 "Xhiro" literally means "Loop".
Basically people go for a walk or a "loop" around the local area.
So you leave your house, go for a walk around the park, and later come back home, completing the loop walk.
Those buildings in skanderbeg square are italian buildings
They are made after Italy invaided Albania
Thanks for the clarification Marjus and thanks for watching 🤗
Thank you for this video 👌 👍
Thank you for watching! Appreciate it 😊
"the host took us for a coffee, picked the bill". People over there work hard for maybe $400 a month and in the US you can make $3,000-$4,000 a month. Still these 2 let the host pay for the coffee. Psshhh....people these days....
It's an Albanian custom. It has nothing to do with how much they earn, and who earns what and where.
after 11 months tirana has made changes .the pyramid is under reconstruction .Very interesting video and very well edited
Thanks you very much! Guess we will have to make another trip to see the updates! Thanks for sharing!
Welcome to beautiful land of eagles Albania.
hi, where did you went at last? where fireworks were being displayed! can you please tell me the name or the location where you went? I'm going to visit Tirana next week please reply if possible.
It was a concert in Skanderbeg Square. Go check out the concert schedule for the city 👍 Thanks for watching and enjoy your trip 😃
Well done Sammy and Tommy. We are in! Well presented, wonderful destination!
Thank you!!
👏🏻respect 🇦🇱
Thanks for visiting us when everything was cool :P

Albania is to much crowded city tirana or less population country
Tirana is busy but in a good way! Very lively and warm :) Thanks Hamdan 🤗
Whoahhh... super love it...
Thanks so much Gel! Appreciate it 🤗🥰
Queen Teuta residence was in Kotorr in the castle you visited

NEXT KOSOVA REPUBLIC
It's on the list! thanks!
@@SammyandTommy visit Peja city it's me home the I pay coffee 🍺☕
Kosovo Is Serbia
@@soru1915 Also the sun and moon is Serbia. Right? Bloody lunatics...
In general the people in the Balkans
are good people
If only they can be a bit nicer to each other.
Anyway enjoy the Land of Eagles
Couldn’t agree more :) Appreciate the comments 🍻
Albania, the Pearl of the balkans and you did only one Video about tirana??really?
So awesome of you guys to visit Albania! Most people have never heard of it so respect to you guys for showing it to the world!! One suggestion though, you guys should head to another city called Korce which is in the Southeastern part of Albania, it is also a very historic city with great culture and climate. 😃
Thanks for the awesome suggestion! Added to the list for our next trip there ✅ Any other suggestions on must see sights or fun activities? Thanks in advanced!
@@SammyandTommy there is a town about 20 minutes to the south of the city and it is called Dardhë (which literally translates to pear btw 😂😂) and they had great views and the best food in the area. There is also a part of the city where it is on the mountain and a church is located there with legitimate murals and a large cross. Looking forward to seeing the video if you make one!!!
Stop coming in Albania you are skyrocketing apartment prices the average monthly salary in Albania is 200 EURO Albania is chip for tourist only not for locals
I like the video, very nice shots and full of energy. I don't like that it is 2 years old, many things have changed since. And the lack of research before giving out information.
Thanks for watching Pierre 🤗 We are working hard to get better so we appreciate the critiques and compliments 👊
The Airbnb was so cool. Could you please give some information about it?
Yes of course. I posted the link to the Airbnb in the description. Let me know if you have any other questions 👍
@@SammyandTommy Thanks a bunch ❤️ I'm actually of Albanian origin born in Tirana, but raised in Greece. I left the country when I was 9 years old, in 1990, so I guess it's time that I visited it after 31 years. But you know...I want to enjoy everything from a tourist's perception... 😀. I can see from you video that nothing has remained the same. It's a total different city.
@@citizenoftheworld5151 Thanks for sharing! Sounds like it's finally time to visit. We know you will love your time there!
🤣🤣🤣🤩🤩🤩🤠✌💯💥💥💥
HI Sammy and Tommy Good Day!!!, Could you please help me in letting me know about expenses during your tour to Albania? I am from India and planning for a 2 days visit in Tirana and then travelling to Bosnia. Waiting for your kind reply!
Hi Parvez! Thanks for watching! We would love to help you 😃 Email us and we will answer any questions we can.
....The ATM's in Albania are said to charge a "fee".....if they are anything like in Prague, that "fee" is too large........
We always use our Charles Schwab debit card which doesn’t charge any atm fees or charges in any country. Hopefully this is possible for you! Thanks for watching Lonnie!
@@SammyandTommy ...Better double-check... th-cam.com/video/rdYhm__yMQY/w-d-xo.html
My from 🇦🇱💖
I want to settle down in Albania please mention tirana city is to much crowded or not n which person we can meet for my paper work n visa if you know some one pls send me whatssup no pls gave reply thanking you
❤️🇦🇱
I would like to ask when was this video taken? I don't think it's now, because no one is wearing a mask in it and I don't know how the epidemic is going in Albania, I wish I had waited for the epidemic to be over before travelling.
This was filmed before the pandemic. Sorry you're not enjoying your travels right now 😔 We appreciate you watching!
❤
My favorite people 💓💓
Thanks so much Liz! We appreciate you and always look forward to your sweet comments 🤗🥰
Ciudad decepcionante..!! Estan invirtiendo mucho dinero para situarla como destino turistico, peto pronto habrá mas oficinas y Hoteles gigantes que cosas para visitar.
Lo unico que atrae a la gente es el precio que sigue siendo barato.
I live in Tirana
Guys You Miss Pakistan 🇵🇰 lets visit it Specially Islamabad Second most Beautiful Capital.!!! ❣️
It's on our list ✅ What kind of itinerary would you suggest for a month in Pakistan?
i can read in your eyes your racism for albania , you just being nice for the sake of views on youtube
Any trust worthy cheap rent a car name please in tirana as am visiting on 18th of july please
Is this pre-Covid?
Yes, it is!
Was there an immigration checkpoint at the border or were you just able to cross into Albania?
Yes there was a checkpoint. Thanks for watching!
Albania n Montenegro which country is good for settle n job n buss is good
We are not sure which country would be better to settle and work. We really enjoyed our time in both and plan on going back 😍 The buses were great in both countries! Sorry we weren't more helpful. Thanks for watching Hamdan 👊
People who regonized the song at the concert
Great video! Was it expensive to travel by taxi? How about the lunch?
Thanks Alex! No the taxi was very affordable. The driver was so sweet and went way out of his way to help us 😀 We had so many good meals in Tirana 🤤 Thanks for watching!
