Tirana vs Podgorica
The two cheapest Balkan capitals, both built for nomads who want admin, residency, and low burn. Tirana brings energy, café culture and a faster-growing scene; Podgorica brings calm, EU-adjacent banking, and proximity to Kotor.

Verdict
Tirana for the colour, the food, and the under-€1,100 budget. Podgorica for paperwork, banking, and a 90-minute drive to the Adriatic.
