Make the most of your final day in Albania by visiting Tirana’s iconic markets and shopping establishments in the buzzing Pazari i Ri. Secure the perfect souvenirs for your family and friends back home or buy yourself a remembrance of your amazing experience in Albania.

One of the best things to do on your last day is to explore Bulevardi Dëshmorët e Kombit, a street that captures the true essence of Tirana. Take your time to uncover its best sides and enjoy its proximity to many of the area’s best attractions.

Get a last taste of Albania’s tasty traditional food. Choose from a curated list of the best local food and drink spots in Tirana and enjoy what may be your last vacation meal of this trip. Look forward to recreating these distinct culinary experiences in your own kitchen later to remind you of your unforgettable road trip across Albania, Greece, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Bulgaria.

Have a fantastic dining experience at Shije Fshati - Taste of the Village, a highly recommended choice for tonight's dinner. If you're looking to mix things up, Villa Tafaj offers an enticing alternative with its varied menu.

The time has come to say farewell to Tirana for now. You will realize that you’re traveling home with more than you came with as you look back at your 12-day European road trip in Albania, Greece, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Bulgaria with fond memories. Safe travels!
