There is probably no other more extreme example in Europe of the difference in perception of a country and the reality on the ground. Many of our clients get off the plane in Tirana with a sense of trepidation. Stories of Albanian Mafia, a lawless society and a backward country without infrastructure quickly give way to the reality of a young and dynamic democracy as safe and friendly anywhere in Europe.
From sipping cocktails opposite Enver Hoxha’s villa in the Bllok to Tirana’s numerous international restaurants, wine bars (with French clarets and New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs at UK supermarket prices) and clubs, Tirana provides a surprise around every corner.

We are planning on highlighting a hip bar every
month, and are pleased to introduce and endorse Mojo, which opened in
early 2008. Designed by one of Albania's leading architects and
located in the trendy Embassy quarter, Mojo is already proving a hit
with locals and expats alike. With its slick design, excellent
service, free wireless and free happy hour nibbles, Mojo is a
must-stop on any bar tour of Albania. With the management
planning to bring Guinness into Albania and a fine Indian restaurant
just round the corner, make sure you check out Mojo on your next trip
to Tirana.
