Tirana is Europe's rising-star capital — Albania's capital is colourful, affordable, and developing at breathtaking speed. Skanderbeg Square is one of Europe's largest city squares, Bunk'Art-1 and Bunk'Art-2 are bunker museums from the Communist era, and the city's bohemian nightlife and Blloku district are made for young European travellers. Albania is one of Europe's last undiscovered gems.
