What makes Check IN Tirana a unique experience ?
There we’ll be visiting the National Historical Museum that holds most of the country’s archeological treasures, the excellent collection is almost entirely signed in English and takes you chronologically from ancient Illyria to the postcommunist era; the Et’hem Bej Mosque, The Clock Tower, The Palace of Culture, The National Library and we’ll explore The New Bazaar, one of the oldest residential neighborhood in the city.
The trip continues along the Martyrs of the Nation Boulevard and past the Pyramid, the Peace Bell, the Prime Minister’s Office and the Checkpoint (Postbllok-The Memorial to Communist Isolation). After fulfilling our minds and spirits, it’s time to satisfy our appetite in one of the Blloku Area Restaurants, after taking a look at the Enver Hoxha's Former Residence.
The boulevard ends at Mother Teresa Square, hosting some more Italian architecture, as well as the Palace of the President, the Palace of Congresses, the Archeological Museum and Arts Academy.
Our journey continues at The Tanner’s Bridge an 18th-century Ottoman period stone footbridge built near the Tanners' Mosque. Then we’ll take a walk along the ‘Murat Toptani’ promenade and visit the newly renovated ‘Castle of Tirana’ and the National Gallery of Arts, in front of which stands a modern art installation called ‘The Cloud’.
Next is the intriguing museum ‘House of Leaves’, which is considered to be the equivalent of the Stasi headquarters of the Former East Germany and in front of it we have the Orthodox Cathedral.
We will continue to dive in Tirana’s history and top-secret nuclear bunker where we can show to the visitors how Communist-era police persecuted the regime’s opponents at Bunk Art 2.
Then at midday we’ll enjoy an amazing view of Tirana from the Dajti Mountain, through a ride with Dajti Ekspress. The Austrian-built cable car provides a breath-taking 15-minute journey towards the top of Dajti Mountain, with views of forests, farmland, villages and bunkers.
