Albania in-depth tour of the National Museum

📣 Albania, a country full of mystery and historical charm, the National Museum is a place that every traveler cannot miss! 👣 The National Museum is located in the center of Tirana, the capital of Albania, with convenient transportation and can be reached on foot. 🚶‍♀️ 🕰️ Opening hours: Tuesday to Sunday, 9:00 am - 5:00 pm, closed on Monday. Remember to plan your trip in advance! 🏛️ Walking into the museum is like traveling through a time tunnel and returning to the ancient days of Albania. The museum has a rich collection, ranging from ancient bronzes and pottery to medieval handicrafts and modern works of art, all of which showcase the country's long history and unique culture. 👀 💡 Tips: When visiting, you may want to communicate with the tour guide to learn more about the stories behind the exhibits. In addition, there is a cafe and souvenir shop in the museum. If you are tired of shopping, you may want to sit down and rest for a while, or pick out a favorite souvenir to take home. 🎁 🍽️ Nearby food recommendations: It’s only a few minutes’ walk to the Old Town of Tirana, where there are many local specialty restaurants and food stalls. You may want to try traditional Albanian food such as lamb stew, cheese and honey. 🍖🍛 📸 Photo-taking spots: Skanderbeg Square and surrounding buildings outside the museum are also great places to take photos. Why not leave your footprints and beautiful memories here! 📷 🕌Aitanbey Mosque is one of the oldest buildings in Tirana. Many religious sites were destroyed during the atheist movement and demonstrations in the late 1960s, but only this mosque remained intact. The mosque was closed for a long time during Hoxha's rule. On January 18, 1991, more than 10,000 Muslims in Tirana spontaneously came here to pray without the approval of government agencies, breaking the closure of the mosque. It is also a landmark event for religious freedom in Albania. ⛲️The bell tower is 35 meters high and was completed at the same time as the mosque. After its completion, it was the tallest building in Tirana. 💖 Come to Albania and experience the unique charm of this country!
