Tirana City tour
Meet your tour guide at the agreed-upon location and begin your tour from the centre of Tirana.
Walk through Scanderbeg Square, where you will visit the National History Museum, the Opera House and then continue to visit and learn the fascinating stories of the National Hero of Skanderbeg.
Visit the Etemhem Bey Mosque and the Clock Tower.
Discover the underground bunker Bunkart 2, turned into a museum telling the fascinating stories of communist times. You will see traces of communism again on the entry of the Block where there is symbolically a war bunker, part of the holders of the infamous Spac mine and part of the Berlin Wall (Gifts from the German government).
See dictator Enver Hoxha’s house without having the opportunity to visit inside as it is not open to the public.
Continue your visit to another fascinating museum: the Hause of Leaves, a building where communism served as the main place where the state intelligence service spied on its citizens.
Time to take a few minutes from downtown to another area of Tirana.
In the Dajti area is another museum: Bunk'Art Museum, an anti-nuclear bunker site that dictator Enver Hoxha built on the outskirts of Tirana. The idea was to shelter the elite of the Communist leadership in case there was a nuclear attack in Albania. Already a museum bunker, where there is much to see and hear!
