Went a couple of years ago. We’d booked a car from the airport and drove to Prizren in Kosovo for a night – the drive was nice and Prizren was lovely. Drove to Tirana the next day and stopped at a couple of sights along the way. Stayed at an Airbnb near the Taiwan Pool which worked nicely for us. Did a walking tour of Tirana that I put together as well. Can highly recommend Tartuf Shop Restaurant if you like truffle (but definitely not if you don’t!) and we also enjoyed Restaurant Tymi for much more local fare.
Also drove to the cable car, then spent a few hours in Durres the day we left – I’d been there before and remembered it being much nicer, but the weather wasn’t great. If you have time and the inclination to drive, definitely look at where else you can get in a few hours.
It’s not the greatest city but I do like it. Didn’t find the driving an issue at all! And we never struggled for water etc – there are plenty of kiosks and shops in the city as has been said.
