Exploring Tirana Castle: A Blend of History and Modern Charm | Albania Travel Vlog

Can you imagine a modern-day commercial center built on the remnants of a centuries-old castle?
Join me on an exciting journey (around Albania) starting with the Tirana Castle Shopping Center in the heart of Tirana.
Before my trip, I had no idea what to expect, but what I found was a perfect fusion of ancient history and contemporary charm.
Tirana Castle:
- Originally constructed around the 1400s and rebuilt in the late 1700s.
- Renovated in 2008, using only a small portion of the remaining castle, into what's now a unique commercial space.
- A blend of modern architecture and shops that celebrate Albania's rich history.
In this video, I showcase this masterpiece and take you on a serene road trip to some of the "must-see" locations in Central and Southern Albania, including:
Gjirokaster:
- Experience history along its cobblestone streets.
- Discover the charm of this UNESCO World Heritage site.
Sarande:
- Witness the vibrant growth of this coastal gem.
- Explore its stunning landscapes and new developments.
A huge shoutout to Ardit, Greisi, Besnik, and our incredible group for making our month-long stay unforgettable. Your warmth and hospitality opened up Albania's heart and history to us tourists.

You found it this time, didn't you? Unreal! Love the mobile shopping bus. Packed the merchandise into that small vehicle. Blows me away with the open kiosk concept, those goodies being displayed would disappear fast here in the states. Absolutely loved following you through this very different little country.
