Tirana is the capital of Albania and the starting point for most trips, and these articles cover day trips, castles and tours that begin in the city. Besides its museums, cafes and markets, Tirana is central enough for many sights to be reached and back in a day. Our guides describe the Dajti cable car and Shëngjergj Waterfall, Petrela Castle above the Erzen valley and Preza Castle near the airport, and Elbasan with its castle quarter on the old Via Egnatia. A practical article explains how to join a group tour departing from Tirana.
