Tirana, the capital city, has a small city center that is best explored on foot. The city, however, has got no limits. Its architecture bears considerable influence of Italian as well as Turkish monuments, lying as it does exactly between Rome and Istanbul. The Skënderberg Square is a huge open space in the centre of the city while Mt. Dajti, at 5,030 ft, towers over the eastern side. The city can be described in one word: dusty. Tirana is dotted by many museums and cultural life is on the rise. However this city is not a place to plan your next city trip. Fascinating as it may be, it hasn't got the looks to please.
