Itinerary
This activity is perfect for those who love a natural escape, but also want to explore the local culture and emerge into Tirana's lively atmosphere. With us you will explore the best local spots, what the locals do, where the locals go... Let me just give you an example: the best Raki (liquor) place in Town! ? This day trip is for active people who enjoy hiking to the top and receive stunning views in return. We start the trip with a panoramic cable car ride to the National park, after which we will follow a trail through the oak forest. If it’s panoramic views and fresh air you’re after, an escape from the hustle and bustle of Tirana, then this Albania gift experience certainly won’t disappoint. Though you’ll be doing a fair bit of walking as you cross the Cherry Pass, which divides the peaks of Dajti and Maja e Tujanit, it’s nothing too strenuous. We can enjoy a snack at the peak of Tujani (optional) and then head back to the national Park to enjoy a coffee stop at Dajti Panoramic Bar
Afterwards we head back to Tirana. the capital city of Albania is a modern, lively, colourful, attractive town and it has many unique and fine attractions to offer. OPTIONAL: We might visit the Bunk’Art museum Anti-Nuclear tunnel, constructed by the leader of the communist regime, Enver Hoxha for the elite of the time in case of enemy attack. … or … we start our walking tour of Tirana at the Skandebej square around 18.00. we will be introduced for a quick History of Albania. We walk through the Et’hem Bey mosque, the clock-tower, the National Art Gallery of Albania has a fund of over 4,000 works of art by Albanian and foreign authors. Of interest here are the paintings from the realist socialism period where art was one of the tools used as propaganda by the regime. Proceed with the Pyramid (mausoleum of the late communist leader Enver Hoxha, designed by his daughter). In the “Blloku” area (literally the Block) we’ll observe the memorial Check-point with 3 objects representing terror, paranoia and isolation and the former Enver Hoxha’s house in Bllok. We end the tour with a refreshment in the Sky Bar a 360-degree platform on the 20th floor of a building where the whole panorama of the city can be admired.
