Tirana, Albania

Tirana, Albania

Europe's cheapest capital nightlife might also be its friendliest. Blloku — once the sealed compound of communist party officials, a fact the cocktail bars enjoy enormously — is now Tirana's going-out district, dense with terraces, rooftop bars and clubs where a properly made cocktail costs three or four euros. Start with a raki and join the xhiro, the evening promenade that sweeps past Skanderbeg Square. Weeknights stay lively year-round; Tirana's students don't appear to observe Mondays.
