// Explore Albania

Get out and explore.

Albania is one of Europe's last undiscovered destinations — dramatic mountains, turquoise rivers, UNESCO towns, and centuries of history packed into a small country. Trip'n'Hostel Pink Bubble's reception team runs day trips and city tours so you can see more of it.

// Day trips

Outside the city.

Kruje fortress town overlooking the old bazaar

Kruje

Skanderbeg's fortress town. Walk the old bazaar, visit the National History Museum, and stand where Albania held off the Ottoman Empire for decades. One of the country's most important sites.

Ask Reception
Turquoise water of Bovilla Lake with mountains behind

Bovilla Lake

Tirana's reservoir turned escape. Turquoise water backed by the Gamti mountain range — hike up for the panoramic view or sit by the water and let the city feel very far away.

Ask Reception
Pellumbas cave entrance with stalactites

Pellumbas

A spectacular limestone cave packed with stalactites, followed by a canyon hike and a river crossing. Part adventure, part geology lesson — fully worth the drive.

Ask Reception
Cyclops Eye waterfall and blue hidden lake

Cyclops Eye

Waterfall, hidden lake, a blue eye from ancient mythology. One of Albania's most striking natural spots — otherworldly turquoise water sitting in the middle of the mountains.

Ask Reception
Berat's hilltop castle above white Ottoman houses

Berat

The town of a thousand windows. UNESCO World Heritage Site, Albania's oldest continuously inhabited buildings, and a hilltop castle with views across the entire valley. Albania at its most photogenic.

// Tirana tours

Get to know Tirana.

Tregu Dinamo market stalls with vintage goods

Market Tour

An afternoon at Tregu Dinamo — Tirana's sprawling flea market. Vintage clothes, antiques, hardware, curiosities. The best thrift shopping in the Balkans if you know where to look.

Ask Reception
Traditional Albanian dishes spread on a table

Food Tour

Traditional Albanian cooking, street food, and local sweets. Guided through the spots locals actually eat at — not the tourist strip. A proper introduction to what Albanian cuisine really is.

Ask Reception
View from Dajti mountain looking over Tirana

Dajti Mountain

Cable car up to the mountain that overlooks the whole city. Great scenery on the ride up, an easy hike at the top, and city views that stretch to the coast on a clear day.

Ask Reception
Inside a local Albanian craft brewery

Brewery Tour

Party bus, two breweries, beer sampling. The most social afternoon in Tirana. Book early — spots fill fast and the whole thing depends on the energy of the group.

Ask Reception
Tirana's artificial lake waterfront on a sunny day

Tirana Lake

A chill afternoon by Tirana's artificial lake. Walk the waterfront, rent a paddle boat, grab food from the stalls. Low-key, free-flowing — the kind of afternoon that doesn't feel like tourism.

Ask Reception
Historic villa and garden of painter Shijaku

Gallery Visit

The former home of Albanian painter Shijaku — now a personal gallery inside a historic villa. Quiet, unexpected, and a side of Tirana most visitors never find.
