About Soma Book Station
Soma Book Station is one of Tirana’s most atmospheric cafés: rooms lined with books, good coffee during the day, and drinks and food in the evening, when the lights go down and the music goes up. It is popular with the city’s creative crowd, and makes a fine place to spend a rainy afternoon reading or a relaxed evening with friends. Look for its events and concerts on its website and social pages. It sits a short walk from the centre.
