Tirana, the heart capital of Albania has a never-ending movement and energy. This metropolis city is worth to discover by day and night.

Around Tirana
Afterwards we walk to the Pyramid (mausoleum of the late communist leader Enver Hoxha, designed by his daughter). Just before entering the area known as Blloku (literally the Block) we’ll observe the memorial with three objects representing terror, paranoia and isolation, as instruments of dictatorship. You will end the tour at Enver Hoxha house in Blloku. After the visit you might have lunch in a restaurant suggested by the guide (optional).
