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.
