WHAT IS TIRANA REALLY LIKE? (Travel Documentary Albania) 🇦🇱
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- Travel Documentary Albania. 🇦🇱 Is TIRANA, the capital of Albania, worth a visit? What is Tirana like? Is Tirana/Albania safe? How has Tirana developed after the fall of communism? Is Albania Muslim?
We had so many questions in our minds before we traveled to Tirana/Albania. Maybe you feel the same way?
After spending several weeks in Tirana in 2022, we gained deep insights - into the city with its people, its religion, its culture, its food & lifestyle - and its problems. In our travel documentary/vlog, we show you all of this - and not just painted in bright colors, but from an honest and authentic perspective!
(Skanderbeg Square, Zgara Restaurant, "Pazari i Ri" Bazaar, New and Old Town of Tirana, Parku I Madh, Grand Park of Tirana, Et’hem Bey Mosque, Ali Demi Mosque, World Headquarters of the Bektashi "Kryegjyshata Botërore Bektashiane", Orthodox "Resurrection Cathedral", Mother Teresa/Saint Paul's Cathedral, Air Albania Stadium, Activists demonstrating and much more).
If you don't know where to go in Europe. Why not travel to Tirana for a city trip?
And if you're traveling to Albania, spending a weekend in the capital Tirana is a must!
We show you what to expect!
FALEMINDERIT SHUMË (thank you) for watching & commenting!

i really loved Albania also especially the north and south Albania were so awesome the beaches were outstanding. As for religion i was also shocked there were orthodox albanians muslim and catyholics all living in peace and they dont even care to ask eachother what religion they belong muslims drink beer there marry Christians and other way around very nice country with very ancient history

Great video guys,we appriciate the video.The only thing kinda missleading is the emphasis on religion while we Albanians are mostly Atheists or Pagans..Anyway your video is great salute to you guys and i suggest you go to south Albania during the summer we have amazing beaches.
Hi Rex, thank you very much for your valuable feedback. Faleminderit for both complimenting and constructively criticizing us. 👍🏻☺️ That definitely helps us. Thank you, we think Albania is great! 🙌🏻🇦🇱 We have a second UA-cam video (Road trip Albania) which we will publish soon. We sadly had to leave Albania. But we will be back one day - that's for certain! We even brought Albania flags and t-shirts back home and we are always happy when we see them. 😁😍🇦🇱 All the best for you!
@@goingtoworld Please don't. Your videos are misleading and full of shit. If you want to talk about religions go to fucking Turkey or Greece or Serbia. These are religious countries and people. Don't come to our land to stir up shit.

Hi Flutura 🤗, thank you for your comment, we totally agree! 💯😍🇦🇱😘
I really love the coutry and miss it a lot! There are many very kind people there!
Dear Li-Knb Susanne! Thank you for connecting with us! Your words are very kind and true! Best wishes from us to you!
That was actually a well made travel documentary. I just wanted to add that during in the 70s, during communist albania, things were as fine as they could be. They had a lot of problems, but after the coup most of their services and industry got privatized, with the real estate business currently being a huge problem in Albania trying to constantly raise prices by especulation, etc. It is important to clarify that they had barely no unemployment during the 70s, romani and egyptians were actually part of the society (which now days they clearly aren't anymore), along other things. It is important to show that capitalism, for the Albanian people, promised hope and gave them nothing in return
Please accept our gratitude for your compliment and your interesting insight into Albania. We really much appreciate your time and thoughtfulness. We hope that everything will change for the better for Albania. 👼🏻 We also wish you all the best Julio! Nici & Roberto
Too many people feel scared to visit albania because they thinking like is dangerous place wich is not true. If i had to choose one country to live it will be albania for sure. The best people i have never ever meet in my life. They are helpful and the hospitality is on top and they don't care if you are Muslim or Christian etc. Really I'm in love with that country
What a beautiful declaration of love to Albania! We totally agree! Thank you for watching and for leaving this nice comment! Best wishes to you.
I'm travelling too Albania in September I hope I will like it Tirana and Saranda 😁food is really looking good ,and people looking friendly🤌
Hi Azim, that sounds wonderful! Albania is a great & welcoming country with so much to offer! We are sure you'll enjoy your time there! Have a fantastic trip! 🇦🇱😊
Thank you for visiting Albania and for the accurate analysis of the economic situation and corruption. But I want to say that only one sentence you said 10:07 made me understand that you again know very little about Albania and why you made a tour around it. Those words are out of place in a country that has the beginnings of its European civilization as early as the 12th century before Christ, such as the ancient city of Epidamus (Durres today), Shkodra, Bylis, Butrinti, etc. that I cannot mention here that you will spend more than an hour writing. In the German encyclopedia of the 18th century, for example, it is written that the Albanians are the first Christians in Europe. The history and the many conquests in this country with an indigenous people in the Balkans make us have three religions today in modern days. But this has not prevented us from uniting and identifying ourselves in our unique ancient traditions that belong to the beginning of civilization in Europe. Europe had its beginnings and culture from the Balkans in the West and not from the West in the East (Balkans-always within Europe)
Faleminderit shumë, thank you Alfons Marku for your frank and detailed comment. Please accept our apologies for using the wrong term "oriental". Your historical explanations are an asset, of course your treasure of knowledge is much broader than ours. We love Albania and wish it all the best, we see it as a European country that we hope will soon join the EU. We did not mean to offend you or wonderful Albania. Sorry for that. ♥️🇦🇱♥️
@@goingtoworld Thanks for the answer. You are a charming couple and always welcome in Albania
FALEMINDERIT Alfons for your kind reply! This makes us happy! 🥰🥰 All the best and stay safe! P.S. We hope you will like our second video about Albania. ☺️🇦🇱
Alfons Marku, your explanation regarding Albanian history, it’s a spot on. I wonder why UA-camrs, do not create a good balance of history and do the home work and research, correctly before they upload a video. However, we always welcome them and appreciate their effort to show and promote Albania. PS: Please show the oldies (the ancient cities BCfirst, ) before you jump to Ottoman era….😴😀Respect for both of you, and much Love
Thanks for your review Mirand Nela! We thank you for taking the time to address what you did not like and like about the video. We always work hard and try to give our best. Of course there is always a way of doing it better/differently. And we are always trying to improve, so criticism is always welcome. Thanks again. Much love back to you! ❤️
sehr schönes Video, Ich kann dir empfehlen Syri i Kaltër oder Plazhi Ksamilit zu besuchen

I'm not going to lie; that full chicken on the rotisserie (beginning of video) looked great! It made my mouth water for sure. I think I could have torn that up by myself. Speaking of Albanian citizen's not trusting their government,; it's much like that here in the U.S.A. these days. I'll hold it there for the moment, as I could go off when talking politics over here. I think I'll watch one more of your videos & stop as it is now 4:40am. I hope your day is full of flowers & sunshine!! Illinois, USA
Dear Larry, we have to be honest with you: YOU MAKE A BIG IMPRESSION on us and we soak up all the lovely lines you send us like rays of sunshine! Thank you for connecting with us in such a beautiful and open way! We are so happy that you share your thoughts and perspectives with us. You truly motivate us!!

Yes, I need get in my wooden box & close the lid before the sun arises. Thank God that we are in "Daylight Savings Time" here in Illinois, as it gives me an extra hour before the sun appears. P.S. Made me think of my home town in Transylvania, Romania (lol) P.S.S. Seems to me that I just watched a video on that place. G.N.@@goingtoworld

Dear Gotshot 83 ✨ Faleminderit for your valuable contribution. Our wish for Albania is that all EU governments will soon give the green light for Albania to join the EU. We know that the negotiations have been going on for a long time. 🙏🏻
This video is giving people wrong information about Albanian.
Albania is not a Muslim country..
If you obsessed about mosques, go to the turkey do what you ever want....
Faleminderit for commenting Matti Matti! Please watch the whole video. All the information we give is based on reliable sources and on our experience we made while living in Albania for several weeks. Ne e duam Shqipërinë. 🙏🏻🇦🇱
Siete tropo furbi fati I bravi,
Grazie Jovalin per aver guardato il video. 🙏🏻 Forse ti piace di più la seconda parte del documentario sull'Albania: ua-cam.com/video/nlQsCntrHn0/v-deo.html
Buona domenica! 🌼
Oh my! This is what I call a beautiful disaster. I'll only step by because i enjoyed the video and I'd like to make somethings clear for you guys,i was born in Tirana, i grew up there and now i have 3 years living outside of the country. First mistake, we are NOT a muslim community, we don't practice religions, we have an atheist history, the biggest part of Albanians are atheists. Second, there are more Albanians outside of the country than in Albania, the life in Albania is the true hell, why? Those people u see protesting against corruption are the same people producing corruption. It's like a viral circle,a sickness. What you see is a group of ppl yelling about the high prices but in the reality they're just a bunch of suckers supporting a political leader so they can find a job without deserving it,u know easy way...oh and those warm hearted welcoming Albanians, they have this behavior only with foreigners, they're selling it, if you'd be Albanian they would've washed you in an ocean of different bad comments starting off with your looks and nailing it with the smallest negative details. As an outsider though i consider u got the best out of it, go and enjoy the cheap prices, that's the best thing about Albania.
Hi Χεγκη, thank you for writing this open comment and giving us a deep insight into your experience.
your name seems to be greek, your English seems to be very good. but the hate for your own country is very bad, every country has their good and bed, I feel sorry for you, because you are not able to see it, maybe you are not albanian
@@pecasstories4233 Oh please! I forgot to add that Albanians get the truth as an INSULT. Another very important detail for the Albanian philosophy.
Next vidéos, show the our Christian culture, we had accepted Christianity before than your nation...!?
Faleminderit Matti Matti, also in this video we show Christian culture. ⛪️😊🙏🏻
5:39 ✝️ The Resurrection Cathedral (Katedralja Ngjallja e Krishtit)

@spivey porkchop In my Opinion the best place for you to move would be south Albania or North but i would recommend south somewhere close to the mountains at Gjirokaster or Permet with farms etc..We are the champions in quality if Milk and Cheese there in all of Europe.
You‘re welcome!
Do you speak Albanian?
Yes some , still learning. Faleminderit @@SamirMuaremi
Well where can I start?!!!
You are making this video just about religion really based on the video.. the sound of the start of your video , and throw out you your video, and the end of the video..you have only mosk sound..I'm Albanian but I don't really like this when people make videos on religion which in Albania is not an important thing. Because we all live happy together no matter what you are..so not really impressed with your video.
Përshëndetje Johny, faleminderit for your honest feedback as an Albanian! Of course you see your country from different eyes and much deeper than we can ever see it! 💘 As you say, we think it’s fantastic that all religions live happily together in Albania! 🥰 We were not aware that so many Albanians are non-practicing believers and that religion is not important in their lives (we have heard the muezzin a thousand times and have seen so many mosques all over the country). Albania is a magnificent country and we found it impressive - from every perspective. However, as you say, there are many people in Albania who are irreligious and that is also important to say here, as we have learnt. In our second video about Albania we will mention this fact. Thank you for your valued comment and your time! All the best and have a nice evening. ♥️🇦🇱
@@goingtoworld don't take it the wrong Way..I did enjoy your video and I will watch your videos again.

Dear Kevin, so good to read from you! 😊 Thank you for your nice comment! ☺️ Yes, so true! We love the country and its people too! 🇦🇱💘 Have a great day! ☀️
Great video... But.... When some one talks about religion they should keep in mind that in Albania religion comes second or not at all...in Albania people identify as Albanians not as Muslims or Catholics or orthodox... We are bound by blood not religion... Religion is used for political purposes by our neighbours... Such as the anatollian Greek gypsies and the serbs...to divide our people... . We are an ancient nation and as I said... We are Albanians and united by the duble headed Eagle....
Dear Tomi, faleminderit shumë for your honest and direct words. 🙏🏻 We are grateful if you help to complete the video with your comments. You are Albanian and of course you can portray your country from a different perspective. Thank you very much for that! You must know, we returned home with a flag of your double-headed Eagle! 😍🇦🇱 Albania is a great country, we love it - with or without religion. ❤️

Cool video but I must say, it's not nice introducing Albania through the minaret speakers. Religious traditions are leftovers from the middle ages and not something Albanians take pride of. Seeing foreigners put religious stuff as the face of the country is utterly disgusting. Sorry.
Sorry Dren Leka, we didn't mean to offend you! 😔 We love Albania which has so much to offer (we could not show it all, but two more videos will follow). ♥️🇦🇱 Thank you for commenting, we really appreciate it.
It's always a reason why they're doing this shit. Take a guesssss, They love us to much
@@blackeagle7947 It's pure ignorance of the naive traveler. The ones who think it is cool to capture images which seem exotic without knowing much what those images represent to the locals or the lack of representation. I see this ignorance a lot from Italian tourists and I am so perplexed. I am an Italophone myself. There are half a million Albanians in Italy representing all walks of life there. It has to be a really dumb Italian not to get an understanding of the social norms and behavior of Albanians and in particular their general lack of religious identity. I am glad that the new generations are going away from the Italophone influence by seeing elsewhere, like Germany, Switzerland...
I agree 100%
Western Europeans and Americans bending backwards trying to portray Albania as an islamic country is insulting, disgusting and they're being disingenuous. These same cowards wont set foot in Iran, Pakistan or Saudi Arabia but want Albania to be like them.
She seems obsessed with filming mosques and half moons lol, something completely irrelevant to Albanians.

5:15 The orchestra is made by members of gypsy community, they're not Albanians.
Albania religion 60% Muslim
30% Roman Catholics (in Tirana is the Catholic Church or Pope Gjon Pali road to piramid of Tirana)
10% of Albanian are Catholic orthodox
So 60% Muslims
40% orthodox
Most visited Catholic Roman church isn’t located in Tirana but in periferia in LAÇ (San Anthony church ) in Laç is visited over 3 millions per year by Roman Catholic but even Muslim or orthodox believers !
Albania religion is Albaniansm (brotherhood , Kanun , family and our flag )

help information from an Italian citizen , Entrepreneur working in Albania .
If u like mountains and Eagles , you need to go north of Albania ..,
you fill find an Immense Switzerland ..!
Instead, if you like the Sea, the Adriatic coast,,
then you need to go to the south...,
up to the border with Greece ..,
Its Paradise..,looks like the SARDINIA ISLAND",
in my country, in Italy.
that is all,,

I visited Tirana in 2019, just before the lockdown. I was pleasantly surprised. The locals where friendly and made an Englishman welcome. Even more so when I explained I was not American. Not many people speak English so I accepted the challenge and travelled around town using only the local busses. I made it. great fun.
Hello Ian! It's heartwarming to hear your travel story! Thank you for sharing! Best wishes and happy future travels!
People are ignorant and racist in Albania, but in the mountain and in the village the people are very kind. If you are not blonde and want to use the bus to go to another city, you must show your passport to the driver and his colleague
Absolutely we aren't ignorant nor racist. I don't know what people you have met, but I can assure you that Albania is not racist and ignorant.
Beautiful video and so true. Only one correction: Albania never has been an Oriental city before.
Hello Etleva, many thanks for writing this comment! Best wishes to you! 😘✨
Thank you so much for doing such a great video about Albania.
And a fact: Mother Teresa's family may not come from today's Albania, but they are Albanians, they are from Shkup and Shkup(today capital of Macedonia) was part of Albania before.
Hi Ament! 😊 We are very grateful for your compliment! Faleminderit! 🙏🏻🥰 And thank you for your message! Do you know that when Nëne Terezë/Mother Teresa was asked about her origins in 1979 on the occasion of receiving the Nobel Prize, she replied: "I was born in Skopje, I live in Calcutta, and I work for all poor people in the world. My homeland is a small country called Albania." 🇦🇱👼🏻 That is so wonderful, she is an idol and still lives on! 🌟💫
Albania is not musliman in the story !
Your videos focus too much to the religion is not this the country is multi religion and ateist here the relgion is not part of day life and dont see what is interesting..you put videos when the hoxha sings what you want to show with that? Dont like your way and the focus in religion..show the place people leave the religion
Hi Ani! We really appreciate you taking the time to share your review with us. Thanks for your frank words, we're sorry you were not pleased with the video. Stay safe and best wishes to you! ✨
I think you have religion racism 1000%
Thank you Domenik for commenting! What do you mean by this?
@@goingtoworld
He means that, Why do you showing mosques and not Churches...!?
Or show your middle east emigrants in your country during eating döner!!??
5:39 ✝️ The Resurrection Cathedral (Katedralja Ngjallja e Krishtit)

Albania may have her own problems like every country. But as you see albanian people are really amazing. If you are tourist or you want to live there we will make sure you are happy and enjoy the stay there. We are lovely people and hardworking. Not divided by religions we live in harmony we believe in One god but dont care about religions. Im glad you enjoyed and thank you so much for promoting our country ❤
Edited: Minimum Wage now is 400$😂
Hello Gianni! Thank you so much for your heartfelt message! ♥️ Albanian people are incredibly kind-hearted. We're very grateful to have had the opportunity to experience Albania's beauty (inside and out)! And thank you for the update on the minimum wage! 😄🇦🇱👍 Lots of love & best wishes! 😘
Isn't Albania rather secular?
Hi Barbro, thank you for your question. Albania is a secular parliamentary republic. Secularism is regarded very important in Albanian society and a guarantor of religious tolerance and peaceful coexistence. We were impressed by Albania's remarkable religious tolerance! 🥰💖
🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱. I'm Albanian. Great video. Such a beautiful country. In the Sumner months the beaches are great to..
Përshëndetje MrLulzim47! Faleminderit, thank you so much for your lovely feedback! We are very happy to have you with us on our channel! 🤗 Thank you for watching! There will be a second video about Albania! Ne e duam Shqipërinë! 🥰☺️ Have a wonderful weekend! 😘😘
@@goingtoworld ❤️👍
❤️🇦🇱
@@goingtoworld your Albanian is really good!!!
Faleminderit shumë, we will certainly come back to Albania and learn more words! 🤓😅🥰🇦🇱🤗
Wow i love to visit albania
Go for it Dave! 😍 We definitely recommend it! In our next video we will show more about the rest of the country. 🇦🇱☀️😘
You made me laugh out hard cos in bazar the old man told you to give seond your boyfriend but you eat for yourself again 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hi Rendon! How funny!! 🤣🤣 We did not understand what he was saying. 🙊🤣 We are very happy that we could make you laugh!! 😅😁😂 Thank you for watching the video! 😍🇦🇱😘
Why advertising the mosques with Skenderbegs statue in the intro part of the video.I and many other albanians find it insulting.
Dear Franc, faleminderit for your open words! We did not want to offend you! 😥 We were in Skanderbeg Square and filmed there, you know, the mosque is also there! We also did not plan that the muezzin sings, it could also have sung Dua Lipa! 🇦🇱😎
@@goingtoworld why are we depicted as muslims all the time I dont understand there churches as old as emperor justinian in Albania..anyhow thank you for visiting the country :)
Dear Franc, that was our experience, we may perceive it differently from our visitor perspective, we also show churches and more … In our second video about Albania you can see more of our impressions. We are looking forward to your honest opinion. 😅🤗🇦🇱
@@goingtoworld I understand very well your way of perceiving things but it is better telling some truth rather than showing things as we think they are. This might help your channel making it more authentic and also showing anyone interested in Albania her forgotten history.
1.Speaking of history Skenderbeg,he fought off the turkish invasion and all its influence which put our country backwards for 450 years not to mention its forceful conversion of religion.
2.We are in the middle of a judicial reform(first of its kind in all western Balkans,Turkey, Ukraine,Moldova,Georgia which all are candidates for EU)and its hitting corruption hard. These mosques, remnants of Turko-Erdoganish autocratic eastern influences are not helping, which bring some undesired mentality right now.Christianity was established since 4rth century AD in Albania by choice of populace!What are these mosques taking all attention I don't understand.
3.Regarding religion by law we are a secular state.Most of us might believe in God but they don't follow specific religion.
You can check all these facts if you want for fun :).
Next time if you come in Albania again or if you are still here and
You want to visit historical sights I suggest:
1.Not Tirana is a concrete disaster
2.Berat
3.Shkoder
4.Korce
5.Gjirakaster
6.Vlore
7.Butrint
8.Apollonia
You want to eat something nice:
1.Restaurant Mrizi i Zanave
2.BioFarm Gramsh(rough Road)
3.Alpeta Agrotourism & Winery (Alpeta Agroturizem)
You want to visit some nature:
1.Theth mountain hiking there are organized tours
2.Valbona mountain hiking again
3.Osumi Canyons
4.Syri i Kalter(Blue Water) of Saranda (its a freshwater source paradise in south of Albania) take a deep there its amazing
5.Llixhat e Benjes in Permet thermal waters
You want to have some nice time in the beach:
For this one just follow the Riviera road from Vlora and go to Ksamil it is breathtaking.Carefully and slowly drive with a rented car and stop in each every beach that you find.
Have a good day.
Hi Franc, thank you very much for your detailed comment and your explanations and travel tips.
We also want only the best for Albania. It's a fascinating country with fantastic people who love their country! Your descriptions as an insider are very good. Thank you very much for that. 🙏🏻
We have been to Berat, Vlora, Llogara, Himarë, Saranda, Gjirokastër, Ersekë, Korça, Pogradec, Elbasan and Shkodra and would love to come back to discover more and try your restaurant tips. 😁 You can easily spend months in Albania, there is so much to explore!
Have a good day Franc! Faleminderit! 😘🇦🇱😘🇦🇱
I have to Tirana City twice. It's really beautiful city, beautiful beaches, friendly people's, full of History and Culture. 😍🇵🇭
Thanks Dear, please, shed more lights on Albania food
Thank you Bawa Rashied for your nice feedback & inspiration! 🙌🏻😋🇦🇱 Unfortunately, we are no longer in Albania but we will try to focus a bit more on food in the next countries we travel to! 🍳🍖🦐🍜🍲🫕🌮🍳🥓🍋🍰🍔🍵 Best wishes to Sweden! 🇸🇪
@@goingtoworld looking forward to your new experiences, Best luck and lots of love and regards
Thank you so much Bawa! 🙏🏻 We are proud and excited that you accompany us! 🌍🧚♀️🤗🥰🌎 Best of luck & love back to you! ♥️
Tirana it is not an Oriental and it wasn't never a such one.
No no it’s not 200 $ per month!!its 400 $ too make it clear
Thank you for visiting Albania ❤
Faleminderit dear, we appreciate your information. Much love to Albania! 🫶
Wonderful video! Albania is a hidden gem in the Balkans, beautiful beaches and mountains and history. I encourage you to learn more about Edith Durham who fell in love with Albania in the late 1800’s….Gjerg Kastrioti a national hero and our unique Albanian language that cannot be traced but indeed is Indo European. ❤️👍🏻💕
Hi NYC_AE! We want to say thanks for writing this nice feedback! 😊 Albania is indeed a hidden gem in the Balkans - this is why we made 3 videos about this amazing country! ☺️🇦🇱 Did you check out our video about Kruja: ua-cam.com/video/XwYwCPoc3vk/v-deo.html and our Albania road trip: ua-cam.com/video/nlQsCntrHn0/v-deo.html We look forward to hearing from you again! 😘😘
Captured beautifully!
Dear Ermal ✨ Thank you so much for watching. We are happy if you like it! 🙏🏻😘💕
You are focusing in religion a lot, for Albanians it is not so relevant/important, from your perspective i felt not describing my country but a middle eastern country full of religious people 😂
Dear Eugene Cela, faleminderit for your comment. We are glad to hear what you as an Albanian really think and feel about the video. Your frank words help us and everyone who reads the comments to better understand Albania (which we really fell in love with) ☺️😘
Molto bella sono Stato in aprile e vado di nuovo ad agosto
Caro Kamel, è fantastico, ti auguriamo un viaggio magnifico. 🇦🇱🌴😎✨♥️ Pubblichiamo un altro video sull'Albania (Roadtrip), che potrebbe interessarti. Cari saluti 🤗🤗
I really loved Albania 🇦🇱, also especially the North and South were so awesome the beaches were outstanding. As for religion, I was also shocked there were Orthodox Albanian's Muslim and Catholic's. All living in peace and they don't even care to ask each other, what religion they belong to Muslim's drink beer. There marry Christian's and other way around, very nice country with Ancient History. 😍🇵🇭
Thank you for your kind comment, Nelson! ♥️
Ein eher unbekanntes Land, mit vielen Gegensätzen aber spannend
Vielen Dank für Deinen lieben Kommentar! 🥰🤗 Ja, absolut, so ist es! In unserem nächsten Video begeben wir uns dann auf einen Roadtrip 🚘 durch Albanien und zeigen noch mehr von Land & Leuten. Einen schönen Abend und alles Liebe nach Wien! 😘😘♥️
Nice video and everything you showed and said is absolutely true. Welcome to Albania 🇦🇱. As long as you are in Tirana City visit Dajti mountain and other places as other's suggested. Hug's from an Filipino, living in our country (Philippines 🇵🇭). 😍
Much love to the Philippines! 🥰😘🇵🇭
Why you didn't start the video with the Church?
Hi Giuliana, we started the video on Skanderbeg Square - the main plaza in the centre of Tirana. The heart of the city. The first place where tourists go. 😍 Thank you for watching and commenting. ☺️ Have a good day! 🙏🏻
@@goingtoworld in the heart of city is the big Orthodox Church. ☦
She's an Isis sympathizer thats why
Gjinah si kendon ai si grek me fjal shqipe..nese ka popull ne bot me te shitur se shqiptaret e shqiperis.une nuk jetoj asnje dit me shum
Faleminderit për komentin tuaj Dory.
the so-called mutual acceptance of religion comes practically from the fact that Albanians in general don't care about religion. If one good thing came out of the 45-years of socialist system, it was to do away with religion and even having a Constitutional article in 1967 to state the ban. Historically, religion has been a major obstacle for the country's progress in any front, particularly in education and language/cultural identity.
at 7:15 you say ALI DEMI mosque, which is ironic to say, since ALI DEMI was a communist and a good one, who fought fascism and nazism during WWII, and certainly an atheist, like hundreds of thousands of Albanians today.
What a shame to hear the-call-of-prayer at SCANDERBEG SQUARE in the middle of Tirana. It's ugly, annoying, and certainly UN-Albanian.
Thank you for your frank words as an Albanian!
Enjoy watching from country of the Philippines
That's very kind of you Ankoku Haru! Much love to the Philippines! 💙☀️❤️
I have a muslim mother and a catholic father! Religion is no problem for us. It's just a personal choice. 🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱
Dear Enea, that's so wonderful to hear! Much love and blessings to all of you! 😘💕🇦🇱
You filmed this in the winter but posted it in the summer? After 6 months?
Dear Endri S, we filmed until March 2022 and always try to publish our videos as soon as we can. 🙏🏻❤️🇦🇱
Do you find it Albania a Musslim country??
Besides City sight & activities , In my opinion as a citizen there are a lot of Nature getaways in Tirana & some of them adventurous for example Ibë location and it’s caves and waterfalls
Hello dear, thank you for your comment and for your tips! Much love to hospitable Albania! 🤗🇦🇱
The best part of the video is The Name Of My Greatest ALLAH Name in the Mosque and praying ❤️❤️❤️
🤲🙏💕🕊️
Went last weekend and had a brill time. Made a friend called Elvis who showed us his small town and drove to meet us in Tirana the next night. Going back for Easter with the gf and some friends.
Hello dear! Sounds like you had an amazing time in Albania! Meeting locals and making friends is one of the best things about travel, and we're happy to hear that you connected with Elvis and got to see more of the country. We hope you have an equally fantastic time on your next trip over Easter with your girlfriend and friends. Safe travels and thanks for watching! ❤️
Enjoy watching again you vedio love from Philippines 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

You got one fact wrong: Mother Theresa is born in Skopje (Shkup), but her family doesnt come from Albania. Instead Skopje used to be an Albanian city. The Othomans together with the Serbs turned it to a "North Macedonian" city.
Përshëndetje PrizrenaliZH! 😊 Faleminderit shumë for your explanation and clarification. 🙏🏻😍 Best wishes from us to you! ✨
North Macedon ☝️!!!! ( MAKEDONIA = GRAECE ,KOSOVA = SERBIA 🇬🇷🔹️🇷🇸) ✔
@@hedonliridon1928 how is Kosova Serbia? It always belonged to Albania. We have 4000 years old foundings of essentials of the Illyrians in Prizren right next to the orthodox church, which was there just for 1000 years. Isnt Kosova then Illyrian?
ιτs noτ Albania Iτ ιs Serbia, donτ sαy τhατ αgain,Mαcedoniα with Hellenic Dominατιοn is ΕλλαΣ fact ! If ,you Caucasia-Mongolas tribe want to be Neanderthals-Bujrum 🇷🇸🇬🇷🇲🇰🇲🇪
@@hedonliridon1928 ok, yeah. You are right, I am a blonde Caucasian Mongol and you are a dark Indo European 😆
Why didn't you show our churches...!??
Hi Matti Matti, please check out the whole video. 🙏🏻 Maybe you have missed the churches? ⛪️😔
5:39 ✝️ Orthodox church: The Resurrection Cathedral (Katedralja Ngjallja e Krishtit)

Cool, you should check out Serbia next! You'd be always welcome in Serbia.
