Artifiko Tirana

Gifts into stories

"In a world full of mass-produced gifts, Artifiko stands for individuality as an oasis where each piece transcends the ordinary and carries a piece of soul."

Artifiko is nestled in the vibrant area of Ish-Blloku. It is a small boutique gift shop that is focused on the essence of personalized gifts. Since 2015, the vision of this shop hasn’t changed: transform gifts into personalized stories.

The main focus of Artifiko is to create something unique for every individual. In the shop, you will find samples that give you an idea of what you can gift someone for their special day. You will find things for Mother’s Day, your friend’s birthday, or your Father’s Day, and the good thing is you can write and personalize your gift however you want. But not only that, here you can buy something for someone you barely know, and that will for sure make them happy because it is thoughtful to have something done for you.

In a world full of mass-produced gifts, Artifiko stands for individuality, as an oasis where each piece of art transcends the ordinary and each piece of gift carries a piece of soul.

A visit to Artifiko isn’t just an ordinary shopping trip; it’s an experience where you get a chance to explore a place that speaks in gift language.

Get into the Prime Ministry building!

Iliria'98

Money exchange

"Iliria'98" in Tirana is the currency exchange office I head to before going abroad. It's the cheapest in the city, so I recommend you use it, too.

Pieces of the past

"Bunk'Art 2" in Tirana is a museum that shows what happened inside the Ministry of Internal Affairs during communism. It's good we can learn these things.

Painters on the Street

Artsy corners

Tirana has its fair share of "Painters on the street". I like how colorful they make their corners and the warm feeling looking at their art gives me.
