Known as the land of eagles, Albania is quickly becoming a popular tourist destination. It's no wonder, then, that in 2025 it welcomed 12 million tourists, a figure almost five times its population.

Tirana joins the list of those capitals that wouldn't be on travel lists if it weren't for the fact that it has an airport, but if you visit, you can get a feel for the city by strolling around Skanderbeg Square, the main square, and taking the opportunity to visit the Et'hem Bey Mosque, the National Museum, or the National Library. However, if there's one place that's truly worth a visit, it's Bunk'Art 2, a former bunker converted into a museum to commemorate the era of Enver Hoxha's dictatorship.

Albania also boasts archaeological treasures such as Butrint, with its agora, thermal baths, Roman theater, as well as beautiful historic cities such as Berat and Gjirokastra.

If you're looking for a more secluded spot, Thethi is the gateway to the Albanian Alps and the charming village of Valbona. However, what is undoubtedly attracting the most tourists to the country are its beaches.

The so-called Albanian Riviera, in the southwest and washed by the Ionian Sea, lies between Vlora and Saranda with crystal clear waters, stunning natural beauty and reasonable prices.

Key locations include Ksamil, Laurel Bay and the Blue Eye, a spring that, as its name suggests, boasts a striking blue color and a depth that has yet to be determined./El Pais
