You’ll visit the iconic Et’hem Bey Mosque, one of the oldest and most important religious sites in Tirana, known for its detailed frescoes and unique history. Next, you’ll stop by the Pyramid of Tirana, a striking structure from Albania’s communist past that now symbolizes the city’s transformation and modern identity.

Throughout the city visit, your local guide will share fascinating facts, short historical insights, and stories that bring Tirana’s past and present to life. After exploring the capital, the journey continues toward the Dajti Cable Car.
After visiting Tirana’s main landmarks, you’ll head to the Dajti Ekspres cable car, the longest cableway in the Balkans. Enjoy a 15-minute scenic ride as you glide over forests, hills, and traditional villages. The panoramic views of Tirana from above are stunning, especially as you ascend toward the mountain. Once you reach the top of Mount Dajti, you’ll have time to take in the fresh air, peaceful nature, and breathtaking views over the entire city and beyond. It’s the perfect spot for photos, relaxing, or simply enjoying the contrast between the lively capital and the calm of the mountain.
