The 2 Dining Experiences in Albania That Earn Their Price

1.Albanian Night Show: Traditional Music, Dance & Dinner in Tirana

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 431 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $53Our pick

Spend about two and a half hours with Albanian Night in Tirana, where live musicians, folk dancers, wedding scenes, traditional costumes, and audience participation bring local culture to life. You can dress in regional clothing, learn about the Kanun, join valle circle dances, and add a seven-dish dinner featuring food from across Albania. Vegetarian and vegan menus require advance notice.

“This is a group of adults that opened this experience to pass on Albanian song and dance. You have the option to wear the Albanian clothes of the past which we chose to do while participating in the show. Afterwards you have the option of having a 7 course traditional Albanian meal. I highly recommend this experience”

2.Local food experience & walking tour of Tirana

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 192 reviews · 3 to 4 hours (approx.) · from $60

Spend 3 to 4 hours walking Tirana with a local companion, sampling byrek, cheese, olive oil, honey, fruit, vegetables, dessert, a traditional meal, and grape raki. Guides such as Markel and Brikena also share Albania’s past, food customs, and everyday city life. The small-group format keeps the experience personal.

“Markel was an excellent guide. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. All my questions were answered. He told us a lot about the history, culture and food of Albania. I enjoyed all the food and drink that was provided.”
