Description

Starting at the National Historical Museum in Tirana's lively heart, we guide you through a journey rich in history and culture. Our first stop brings us to Skanderbeg Square, the city's central plaza named after Albanian hero Gjergj Kastrioti Skënderbeu Next, we visit the Et'hem Bey Mosque, closed during communism but reopened in 1991. The Clock Tower of Tirana, built in 1822 by Etëhem Bey Mollaj, stands as a monument of culture. At 35 meters tall, it was once the city's tallest building and offers picturesque views. Moving on to the Old City Center, we explore the legacy of Sulejman Pasha, who founded Tirana in 1614. The next stop is the New Bazaar of Tirana which is a vibrant marketplace, blending traditional Albanian culture with modern flair. It features colorful stalls selling local produce, crafts, and souvenirs, alongside trendy cafes and restaurants. The architecture reflects both contemporary design and historical influences, creating a lively atmosphere to explore and enjoy. Our journey leads us to the Castle of Tirana, a Byzantine-era remnant with roots dating back to 1300. Situated at the crossroads of major roads, this fortress formed the heart of Tirana, witnessing centuries of history. At Bunk'art 2, an unparalleled museum inside a preserved Communist-era bunker, we delve into Albania's history from 1912 to 1991. This immersive experience unravels the secrets of the regime's political police and honors the victims of communist terror. Visiting the Blloku Area, we encounter the Former Villa of Enver Hoxha, a complex mirroring 1930s architecture. Nearby stands the Post-Block Memorial, a testament to human resistance during the dictatorship. The newly renovated Pyramid of Tirana is a striking landmark, leading us to our final stop, the Komiteti Cafe Museum. A bohemian haven adorned with communist relics, it serves as a unique space to savor a variety of raki while soaking in Albania's intriguing history and culture.
