Why visit?
Since the fall of communism, Albania has seen a dramatic rebirth that promises a prosperous future. The country’s capital city, Tirana is still, as yet, undiscovered by most tourists, but at its heart is a wealth of cultural and historic treasures. Tirana is a city where ancient meets modern, with architecture that dates back to the Roman period. Spend some time walking around the city centre and you can easily find some of the city’s most fascinating buildings. Travellers with a curiosity for historic monuments will enjoy a visit to the Clock Tower in Skanderbeg Square, situated in the centre of the city. Alternatively, you can visit the astonishingly beautiful Et’hem Bey Mosque to see its wonderful decorations. The National Historic Museum is a fantastic way to find out about Tirana’s history and see some of its most important artefacts up close. If you want to explore further afield, then a trip up nearby Mount Dajti by cable car offers incredible panoramic views of the city.
