Albania's capital city of Tirana is like no other Balkan capital cities with its iconic high-rise architecture and redesigned public spaces, and its delayed 'Dolce Vita' atmosphere of cafes and restaurants. Our half day walking tour will start at the very heart of the city's Monumental Center, where we will observe the strong differences between the overbearing communist buildings of the Palace of Culture and the National History Museum, versus the Italian governmental buildings of the 1920s by the Italian architect Armando Brasini. As we will walk by the statue of Albania's national hero Skenderbeg, we will head to the Et’hem Bey Mosque and the Watch Tower - reminders of Tirana's 17th and 19th centuries expansion, and later its twentieth century turbulent history. We will have a chance to walk on by the newly reopened Toptani castle, and the stone Tanner's Bridge, followed by a quick stop at the Pyramid and a visit to the Blloku area, along with the dictator's Enver Hoxha villa.

  • Rruga Murat Toptani, Tirana, Albania
    A walk to the Tirana Castle is perfect for every time of the year! Recent excavations during the years 2001 and 2008, reveled traces of Tirana's castle walls dating back to the Emperor Justinian's period of IV – VI of our era. Sadly little remains to be seen of the castle walls given that it has seen many wars and destruction to date. Yet, nowadays its highly frequented by all ages for it has become the hearth of arts and artisans, beaming with lovely cafés, restaurants and art galleries, worth visiting at any time of day and night, all year around.

  • Tanners' Bridge, Tirana, Albania
    Ura e Tabakëve aka The Tanners' Bridge is an 18th-century Ottoman period stone footbridge located near the Albanian Parliament. Once a vital bridge that linked Tirana with the eastern highlands, it stands as a testimony of Tirana's area fine bridge construction. It was mainly used by farmers to bring produce and livestock, hence its name "tabakë" in Albanian - the profession that includes both butchering and tanning. The Tabakëve bridge crossed the Lana stream until the 1930s when the river was diverted, and than the historical bridge sadly fell into disrepair. A testimony of Tirana's urban development in the 18th century, Ura e Tabakëve is considered as one of the most important cultural heritage monuments of the city, and in the 1990's it underwent a serious restoration. In addition to showcasing the bridge's foundations, cleaning up and restoring its original stones, an artificial pond was recreated on both sides of the bridge which has since remained in use by pedestrians only.

  • National Gallery of Art, Tirana, Albania
    ​The Albanian National Gallery of Arts - GKA was established on January 11th, 1954 and it is a treasure trove full of formidable social realism masterpieces and the best that figurative arts of Albania has to offer worldwide. While temporary closed for its deserved expansion, it still offers a great opportunity to observe its sparse and minimalist design from the outside, and especially the well hidden social realist statues of the Eastern Europe Communist leaders like Stalin and Lenin in its vicinity. In front of the Albanian National Gallery of Arts stands REJA ​aka​ The Cloud, designed by the famed Japanese architect, S​ou F​ujimoto, that has become the beloved home of late night film screenings, performative arts festivals, as well as live concerts.

  • Blloku, Tirana, Albania
    Everything one has heard or read about Tirana's Blloku it is true as it is the city's must-visit gravitational pole with its remarkable face-lift, now blooming with hip bars and cafes, a nightlife to be envied, full of trendy restaurants, luxury boutiques and upscale residential units. Yet before this hot spot gave the capital a feeling of La Dolce Vita, during the Communist rule, Blloku as its name suggests, was a closed-off precinct for the party elite, with the modest, modern style villa of Albania's long-ruling dictator Enver Hoxha in its heart. Beside the infamous house where the fate of so many people during the regime was sealed, the same area is also home to the monumental Presidenca e Republikës - the office of the Albanian president.

Città in forte espansione urbanistica ed architettonica, nuovi grattacieli con materiali innovativi e colorati, progettati anche da progettisti italiani. Wifi libero in molte piazze ed edifici e locali. Temperatura mite. Cibo speziato, buono, a seconda di ciò che si mangia il prezzo è variabile ma non è alto. Taxi aereoporto/città non è caro. Città piena di italiani. Accettano anche gli euro, ma consiglio di pagare in cash e soprattutto cambiare gli euro in città appena arrivate. Con Ryanair al rientro in Italia non è stato necessario stampare il check in come descritto sull'app. I locali la sera sono pieni di giovani. Noi abbiamo assistito alla festa dell'estate il giorno 14 marzo. Buona passeggiata.
