Voice of Travelers to Tirana

Outstanding vacation in Tirana

I am Ken from Austria. Last winter, I took a break from work and flew to Tirana for vacation. I had a dilemma in choosing the best airline to Tirana until a colleague suggested the best airline that offered cheapest ticket to Tirana. I bought a ticket to Tirana online after the referral and buying the ticket online was cheaper compared to visiting the travel agents who sold their ticket more expensive. “When purchasing a ticket to Tirana, it is advisable to purchase your ticket weeks prior to your departure, ticket are cheaper during this period”, he added. I traveled using Austrian Airlines who apart from being cheaper, also offered a 10% off their ticket for any ticket bought within the festive period. The travel experience and staying in Tirana was awesome. Tirana residents are very hospitable and friendly people. I came back rejuvenated and I am on course to achieve my goals and I would recommend any one to take a vacation in Tirana. The city is beautiful and charming.
