Albanian Night is Tirana's first-ever ethnocultural center teaching visitors all about Albanian traditions, customs, gastronomy and history through interactive experiences and classes. Our signature Albanian Night show immerses guests in authentic local culture as they put on traditional Albanian costumes and play the role of villagers from the times of the Kanun, Albania's most ancient legal codex. Albanian Night is also home to Albanian Bazaar, the largest souvenir shop and artisanal hall in the Balkans. Shoppers can find gorgeous handmade goods created by local craftsmen and artists here. Every purchase supports the local artisanal economy and provides income to rural Albanians, helping preserve traditional craftsmanship. Visitors are welcome to visit the cultural center any time they'd like free of charge. The Albanian Night show and the daily classes require a ticket, which may be purchased online or in person.

Amazing young people who try to preserve their unique culture in a perfect way! We enjoyed it a lot!! Highly recommended
Excellent night of Albanian culture and definitely would recommend for tourists visiting and even locals to learn more It’s an immersive experience you get to watch amazing dances and it includes dressing in traditional clothing and joining in some dances. It’s a great project led by enthusiastic people aiming to show the history and culture of their country and worth it
Great place to visit before you start to explore Albania. Peaceful place and friendly people, in a great location. Shame we didn’t have time to see the show.
It is a unique experience by involving guests in the traditional dance performance with traditional music. It's a must.
It was such an amazing night out with friends! We experienced a beautiful Albanian traditional Wedding through an amazing performance of the cast! Everthing was great! Since the begining of the showcase, the man of the house-Leka and his family gave us a hearfelt wellcome in his son marriage! His wife and future daughter -in low assisted us wearing traditional clothes from different reagions of Albania ( as per your personal choice) . The wedding ceremony started with beautiful folk songs and dancings. The performance of the dancers and singers was exceptional! Leka also the moderator as explaing the different part of the ceremony took care to give essential info regarding the Albanian culture, in the most funny way possible. They invite us (guests) to dance as in a normal ceremony and also made sure to involve visitors in funny conversation. This traditional Wedding ceremony: It’s about presentation of our wonderful Albanian Folk Herittage! It’s a Must beautiful experience!
