Local food experience & walking tour of Tirana
Overview
If you want a taste of authentic local culture, then jump into this day tour. Meet with your local companion to offer you a unique experience across the city, while passionately sharing our culinary treasures. Make sure to come with an empty stomach and get ready for a delicious adventure.
Our first stop will be at a small local place that only locals know how to find. Here we will have the chance to try Byrek, a classic Albanian specialty with spinach, or other ingredients. The journey then leads towards Çam bazaar.
With your local companion by your side, you will have an insight into the hidden alleyways and bustling street markets of Tirana.
The next stop of our local adventure takes us to the New Bazaar, where an array of culinary delights awaits us. We will sit down for a traditional Albanian meal prepared with regional specialties.
To wash it all down, we will also taste the famous Albanian Grape Raki. As we Albanians say, there is nothing that Raki can’t fix!
