Overview
Join us on Tirana’s only walking tour through Albania’s shadowy communist past.
While the rest of Europe progressed into the modern era, Albania was shrouded in mystery and isolation under the thumb of a brutal dictatorship that is viewed as one of the most extreme totalitarian regimes in modern history. See once-crumbling but now restored brutalist architectural marvels, learn about the unbelievable exploits of an iron-fisted dictator, and hear the remarkable stories of tragedy and triumph that have shaped modern-day Albania and prove the resiliency of the Albanian people.
The communist period remains imprinted onto the landscape of Tirana and into the memories of Albanians. Join Józef, your experienced and enthusiastic guide, as he shares insights and stories about these 45 years of Albanian history that most locals refrain from discussing with visitors.
This tour is also available in Spanish.
Stops:
Skenderbej Square
Et'hem Bej Mosque and Clock Tower
House of Leaves
Bunk'Art 2’
Pyramid of Tirana
Blloku
Enver Hoxha's former residence
Albanian Bunker
And more!
