Communist Traces in Tirana (Min 3 Pax)
Overview
Today you will learn about the communist past in Albania and the atrocities of the regime!
We will start our tour by visiting Bunk Art 1, the best museum to experience the real conditions of these dark times for Albania. We will go through the underground tunnels with 3 levels, visiting the personal rooms of the highest hierarchy officials. Our tour will continue in the center of Tirana where we will visit the Historical Museum, learning about the history of Albania from ancient times to modern days.
We will continue walking in the center and explain the history of the main buildings of Tirana, passing by the Main Square, Pyramid, Main Boulevard, and Blloku area where we will pass by Hoxha’s house. We will explain details and stories of the time that we have experienced ourselves.
Our day will end at a famous bar in Tirana, furnished as in the communist era and trying raki, our strong traditional liquor.
