In the afternoon, we take a 15-minute cable car journey up the Dajti mountain. The views from the cable car and from the cliff are breath-taking.

Bunk'Art 1, Tirana, Albania Bunk Art 1 is the best and most innovative museum in Tirana. The museum is located inside a massive communist bunker.
From 1945 to 1992, Albania was ruled by a communist dictator called Enver Hoxha. He constructed 750.000 bunkers in Albania, because he was paranoid and afraid of a foreign nuclear attack on the country. The foreign attack never happened, and the communism regime ended in 1992. But Albania still has thousands of unused bunkers.
The massive bunker, which accommodates Bunk Art 1, was intended to accommodate the communist dictator and his government if a foreign attack took place. It is a five-story underground bunker complex with over 100 rooms and a multitude of hallways. But it was never used.
Nowadays, the bunker has been converted into a very interesting museum about Albania's history. You can listen to Enver Hoxha on the phone, see old TV footage, learn about nuclear weapons and see the dictator's room. You get a unique insight into the dark year under the communist rule in Albania. Simply said, Bunk Art 1 is the most impressive museum in Albania, but it is also a little creepy... 180 minutes

You can see the entire city of Tirana, the Adriatic Sea and the Port of Durres. Albania is a very mountainous country, so you will see various hills and valleys in the distance.

This one of several trips we took out of the capital Tirana with Jack, a partner in the guide service. No surperlatives are sufficient to describe how good and informative jack’s service was. To back up his knowledge of the politics of this tour he is a genuine, kind and caring professional as well as his driving skills which are excellent, a must in Albania. Because the C’car was not open on the day, jack drove us to the mountain top. His partner Manon is also a great guide and an excellent communicator and administrator re bookings and emails.

I recommend negoziating a taxi and see BunkArt1 and a trip to Dajti Mountain.
Its a massive bunker, 5 storeys low with several rooms decorated with info about albanian socialist life, and its horrors. Its a brilliant way of telling the story of the countrys past.
Not far from BunkArt1 you will find the Dajti Express, a cabelcar which takes you to the summit in 15. mins. Current the price is EUR14 for a return. At the top you will find a hotel, rotating restaurant, playground and outdoor cafe- and off course the beautiful views of Tirana. Highly recommended.

We had a great time walking around the city and learning it,s history from Manon. Perfect Amy to start your time in Albania as you get an understanding of the history and people. Bunker #1 was very interesting and a great way to cool down after walking. Beautiful views at the top of the cable car. Lots to do if you are a family.
We will use Manon again, price extremely reasonable for what you get.
