Overview
Welcome to Tirana.
And all in French!!
Set out to explore the Albanian capital with a local guide from Maax Tours on a friendly and enriching walking tour.
Tirana is a city full of contrasts: Ottoman heritage, religious traditions, Italian architecture, the Communist era, and a spectacular transformation over the past few decades.
During this tour, we’ll explore the main landmarks in the city center, while taking the time to understand the history and daily life of the Albanian people.
In particular, we’ll discuss the communist era under Enver Hoxha, the transition to democracy, and Tirana’s transformation today.
The tour will also offer insight into the coexistence of the city’s various religious traditions: Islam, Christianity (Orthodox and Catholic), and Bektashism.
Our goal is not only to show you Tirana, but also to help you understand the city, its history, and its people.
