Tirana is one of Europe’s most colorful and eclectic capitals. With its enchanting mix of Ottoman, communist era, modern, and 20th century Italian buildings, some featuring murals and street art by world-famous artists, you are in for a visual treat. Located around 40 minutes from Durres, it is the cultural, social, political, and business hub of the country and has something for everyone. The Tirana tour will teach you about the city’s entire history from its Ottoman influence to the role it played during the nearly 50 years of communist rule under the brutal dictator Enver Hoxha. But it’s not just history and architecture on the Tirana tour, you will also get to shop, drink coffee in one of the city’s many cafes (Tirana has more coffee shops per capita than any other European city), and taste traditional food, all before heading back to the hotel.
