National Historical Museum (Pass by)
Stand before the massive mosaic of the National History Museum and admire a nation that managed to fit its entire identity onto a single wall, even if the doors are currently locked for a very expensive facelift.

(Pass by)
Gaze at the Et’hem Bey Mosque, a small but mighty survivor that dodged a dictator's wrecking ball thanks to some nature frescoes and a 1991 prayer protest that effectively broke the regime’s back.
Admission ticket free -
Bunk'Art 2 (Pass by)
Peer at the battered concrete dome of Bunk’Art 2, the visible tip of a thousand-square-meter underground iceberg where the secret police once played a high-stakes game of nuclear hide-and-seek.
Admission ticket free -
Tirana Castle (Pass by)
Run your hand along the ancient stones of Tirana Castle, a Byzantine-Ottoman patchwork that has pivoted from a military fortification to a social hub where you’re now more likely to be attacked by the scent of roasting coffee.

(Pass by)
Look up at the Pyramid of Tirana, a brutalist spaceship that went from being a dictator's shrine to a giant illicit slide, and finally to a tech hub with enough stairs to challenge your morning espresso.
