It is excellent for families with young kids but can be difficult for families with high-school children if your kids are very social and enjoy going out. Couples can do a lot of exploring and enjoy some of the travel opportunities. This can be a great city for singles, if they aren't looking for a booming social life. Entertainment in Tirana is limited, making it difficult if your social life is dependent on going out. There are some great restaurants, clubs, bars, etc., but after two years, everything starts to look stale. There just isn't a great variety. A lot of people entertain at home. - May 2013
You can make it the expereince you want it to be. I don't know how good it is (or is not) for singles, but some of the couples I know of get out a lot and really look into all the events that are offered. It's a little more difficult with families. Overall, there just isn't a lot to do. It's a small city for a capital. Things are changing, but it's still small. You can get out and about in the country, and there are some neat things to see. - Dec 2012
Tirana is a rapidly developing city. Most singles and couples without children like it here. There was not a lot to do with young children when we first arrived, but there are increasingly more things to do with children. There are indoor playgrounds for babies and toddlers at most shopping malls and a new mall has an indoor ice skating rink. There are also a number of outdoor cafes and resorts with swimming pools and playgrounds, one with a few zoo animals. There are beaches nearby, although most of the clean beaches are at least a 4 hour drive. - Oct 2011
