Ish-Blloku (the former Block) known as Blloku is the most famous and expensive area in Tirana. It became very attractive after the fall of communism in Albania because during communism it used to be the area where only the communist elites lived. In Blloku you can still find the residence of the Albania’s communist leader Enver Hoxha. You might not believe it but for the locals Blloku is more popular and more expensive than the city centre of Tirana.
There are many nice cafes, restaurants, hotels and night clubs in the Blloku area. However, what makes Blloku interesting is the variety among different styles, Mexican restaurant (Serendipity), the Library Bar, Raum Bar, Mon Sheri and Sophie caffe.
