Highlights

This is a great way to learn more about recent and actual history of Tirana. The tour will bring you to fascist and communist public and secret corners of Tirana, to the recently opened Bunk'Art and to some corners of the city center of Tirana that you would not think of visiting on your own. This is a tour of locals, made and guided by locals and will make you feel and understand the tragic and comic side of life in one of the most isolated capitals in the World during approximately 44 years. Life's been hard and sweet under Communism and we'll have great ways to illustrate all that by always telling the truth. Apart from history and art we will also make sure you taste a bit of the local cuisine and products for which Tirana is building up quite a reputation. Our good thing is that we try to involve and get into conversation with locals regarding the past and the present Albania and you will see that this will be enriching your travel experience quite importantly.

About Tirana

Tirana is Albania's colourful, spirited capital, with painted buildings, Ottoman and Italian landmarks, Cold War bunkers and cafés on every corner.

Skanderbeg Square, a vast open plaza, is the heart of the city, flanked by the Et'hem Bey Mosque with its delicate frescoes, the clock tower and the National History Museum with its giant socialist-era mosaic. Nearby, the Pyramid of Tirana is a striking concrete relic of the communist decades.

Top-ranked sights in Tirana: Skanderbeg Square (Sheshi Skënderbej), Pyramid of Tirana (Enver Hoxha Pyramid), Et'hem Bey Mosque (Xhamia e Et'hem Beut).
