Today you will land in Tirana, the capital of Albania. Albania went through a harsh communist regime that left behind thousands of concrete bunkers. In Tirana, several have been converted into fascinating museums - such as Bunk'Art, where you'll get a glimpse into the country's dark past. Albanian cuisine is a mix of Mediterranean and Balkan flavours. In Tirana, try tavë kosi (lamb with yoghurt), fresh seafood and don't forget the local wine or strong coffee.

Tirana is a city that will surprise you with its energy, history and modern spirit. Upon arrival, check in and if you have enough time today, you can hit the streets and explore. The real adventure begins tomorrow. 

The sun rises over Tirana and its rays bathe Skanderbeg Square, the vibrant heart of the city where history meets the modern pace of life. First you head to the National History Museum, whose massive mosaic façade tells the story of Albania from the Illyrian kings through Ottoman rule to the communist era. From here, continue to the Et'hem Bey Mosque, a masterpiece of Ottoman architecture that survived decades of religious prohibition and now glows with frescoes of nature motifs. Finally, you settle into one of the cafes near the square, where the smell of strong Albanian coffee mixes with the energy of the city. Colourful facades, bustling streets and a mix of tradition and modern life create a unique picture of Tirana, which is changing dynamically but never forgetting its past.

Explore Tirana on an unforgettable day that takes you into the heart of history and offers breathtaking views! You'll start your journey with a visit to Bunk'Art 1, a unique museum housed in a former anti-Atomist bunker, immersing you in Albania's dark communist past. History comes alive in every corner of this fascinating place. Afterwards, take the Dajti Ekspres cable car, which will take you to Dajti Hill. From here, you will enjoy panoramic views of the entire city and surrounding countryside, giving you a new perspective on Tirana and its beauty.

Continue to the New Bazaar, where you can soak up the local atmosphere and explore the markets full of vibrant colours, traditional Albanian products and souvenirs. A great place for shopping, but also for sampling local delicacies!

Close the day with a visit to the beautiful Namazgah Mosque, known for its peaceful atmosphere and architectural beauty. This day will not only introduce you to the history, but also give you the chance to discover Tirana's modern life, combining the past with the present in a unique style.

Today's day is mainly dedicated to getting everything you need to return home in peace. Make sure you check in online and head to the airport well in advance. You will get back to the Czech Republic stress-free and relaxed.
