We only had 1 day in Tirana but omg it was breathtaking! We started off in Skanderbeg Square where there was a cool Roman Mosaic mural and drinking water taps. It was the day of the Tirana marathon so there was local entertainment on many streets. Our first stop was the House of Leaves. It is a gem, honestly, a super engaging museum with an immersive insight into the servailance state that the area had become and the effects it had on the locals. Subsequently we visited the orthodox church which was guilded in sublime decor throughout! After that we went to Bunk'Art 2. Honestly, after the House of Leaves, it felt underwhelming, and a bit of a tourist trap but it did give a real sense of what a larger scale inner city bunker would have felt like. We then went to try and find Tirana Castle, only to find out that it was an area of restaurants, and promptly went to Dajti. Upon reaching Dajti, we visited Bunk'Art 1, which was a breath of fresh air after our earlier disappointment. Bunk'Art 1 felt much more immersive into the juxtaposing lives of the commanders and the commoners in that time. We then scaled the mountain in the Dajti Express which had breathtaking views! There's plenty to do at the top, with a restaurant, zipline adventure, mini golf, hotel and more! It was a satisfying end to our day with a view of the sunset down the cable car and a 40min bus back to the city centre. I'm not gonna lie, I don't think there was anything else that we wanted to see in the area that would've warranted another day in the city but it's a good place to stay is you also want to visit Durres and the Cape of Rodon. #daytrip #travel

Visiting Bunk’Art in Tirana is a fascinating journey into Albania’s Cold War history and cultural transformation. This underground bunker, once a secret shelter for government officials, is now a museum and art space. As you descend into its labyrinth of tunnels and rooms, you’ll encounter exhibits that explore Albania’s communist past through photographs, artifacts, and immersive installations. The fusion of history and contemporary art creates a unique, thought-provoking experience. Located at the foot of Mount Dajti, it also offers a quiet escape from the city. Bunk’Art is both an educational and artistic highlight, showcasing Albania’s resilience and evolving identity. #tirana #albania #holiday #trip #travel

#GetDiscountNotDependingOnLuck Many people may have heard that Albania was under the Communist regime before 1990, but Albania's history is not talked about much and there may not be much information. When you visit the capital city of Tirana and want to learn about this aspect of Albania's history, you should not miss visiting Bunk Art 1 (actually, there is also Bunk Art 2, which is in the city but smaller). In Bunk Art 1, you will learn the details of the Communist regime before 1990, including a simulation of people's homes at that time. There are real offices and bedrooms of high-ranking executives at that time. The atmosphere may be a little scary because it is a real place.

A less known Balkan country which in the past few years is a real tourist rising star. Tirana is the capital city and the main getaway to the hiden gems of the rest of Albania. The main square marks the city center. Everything is on a walking distance: the old mosque 🕌, the orthodox church ⛪, the catholic one are very close. Then you can explore a little bit further the Bunkart 1 and Djati cable car, wich offers you amazing view on the entire city. Other suggestion is to visit the 360° Sky bar just before the sunset and to make the whole circle 🌇 #citydaytours #Tirana #Albania #viewsfromabove
