A good girls’ trip needs at least one evening that makes it out of the group chat.

In Tirana, you can build that evening around dinner, cocktails, music and meeting people along the way. Whether you are arriving with your best friend, bringing the whole group or visiting Albania on your own, choose a night that gives you room to enjoy the city together.

We run TiranaSZN Pub Crawl, and the social side is where our evenings begin: introductions, games and conversations before the music picks up.

Start with dinner and time to catch up

For a girls’ trip, leave time for the beginning of the evening. Choose dinner around Blloku or Pazari i Ri, enjoy getting ready and avoid squeezing five different plans into the same night.

If you are arriving solo, a relaxed dinner before your evening activity gives you time to settle in. You do not need to arrive with a group to have plans for later.

Pick your bars around the evening you want

Komiteti is an option for raki and a setting filled with objects connected to Albania’s past. Radio Bar belongs on a cocktail shortlist, while Tiki Bar and Juliette are worth checking for drinks and music.

Juliette’s programme can include live music or DJs. For a later dancing stop, look at what Diskotek has planned for your date.

Check the current programme and reservation arrangements before choosing. These are places to explore around Tirana, rather than a fixed TiranaSZN itinerary.

Coming with friends? Meet a few more

You can love travelling with your friends and still want to meet people outside your group.

On TiranaSZN, the first stop gives everyone time to talk. Our guides make introductions and bring people into games, so the evening has a shared starting point before moving towards music and dancing.

Bring your friends, join in with the group and see where the conversations go. Games and drinking are optional; you can enjoy the evening at your own pace.

Visiting Tirana as a solo woman?

Sometimes you want the freedom of travelling alone and company for a night out.

A hosted group evening gives you people to meet and someone to ask when you are unsure how the night works. Tell a guide you have come solo, get introduced and start with a few conversations.

Before booking any organised night, read recent reviews and check who hosts it, how the group moves between venues and what happens if you want to leave early. Plan your journey home as you would for any evening out.

What to expect from TiranaSZN

Our standard crawl brings the group through four venues, with entry, a welcome shot at each stop, games, guides and photography included.

The evening begins socially and builds towards dancing. Venues can vary, and additional drinks are paid for separately.

What to bring

Bring photo ID, Albanian lek alongside your card, and a charged phone. Wear something you enjoy wearing, with shoes you can walk and dance in.

Save your accommodation address and keep money aside for transport home. If you leave the crawl early, let a guide know.
