Tirana Tour & Local Product Tasting
Tour Details
Interested in discovering the main attractions and gastronomic secrets of Tirana in one day? Then this tour is the one for you! At the designated time, we'll meet at Skanderbeg Square, next to the Bank of Albania Museum to start this tour of the capital of Albania.
First, we'll dive deep into the city's history by strolling through the heart of Tirana. We'll explore its streets and see some of its most important monuments, like the Et'hem Bey Mosque, a notable historical site. Did you know that this mosque remained closed until 1991 during the communist era?
After admiring the mosque's beauty, we'll go up to the Clock Tower of Tirana, where we'll take in the unique scenic views of the city. Don't forget to take a picture! Our next stop will be George W. Bush Street, which reflects Albania's globalization and is the perfect place to see the most modern side of Tirana.
Next, we'll visit St. Paul's Cathedral, an impressive Catholic church built in 2001. You'll surely be surprised by its architecture! Then, we'll discover the famous Pyramid of Tirana, a curious construction that captures everyone's attention.
To finish our guided tour, we'll explore the Blloku neighborhood, a vibrant area where you can experience the most modern local customs and treat your taste buds. Are you ready? Let's go!
We'll discover the secrets of Albanian cuisine and try a delicious byrek, a traditional dish baked in an oven that has been passed down through generations. After tasting this dish, we'll stop at a local bar to enjoy the popular raki. Cheers!
Afterward, we'll satisfy our sweet cravings at a nearby bakery, where we'll enjoy a baklava or a qumeshtor, two treats that will delight those with a sweet tooth.
Finally, after this 4-hour tour, we'll return to our starting point.
