Good morning

Miremengjes

Good evening

"Albania has the spectacular landscapes and incredible history and culture to rival any Mediterranean country in Europe. After being buried in communism for so long, it's now open for all, and there's never been a better time to visit this wonderful country. But hurry - this secret won't be kept for much longer."

Travel Director

See the Palace of Culture in Tirana

The Palace of Culture in Tirana really lives up to its name. It's a grand building where you’ll find cultural institutions like the National Library and the National Theatre of Opera and Ballet. The first stone of this stunning building was symbolically laid by former Soviet president Nikita Hrushov in 1959 and your Albania travel guide will show you around the highlights of this cultural treasure.

Stroll through Skanderbeg Square

Of all the top Albania attractions, you can’t miss checking out Skanderberg Square, the main square in Tirana. It’s massive at over 430,000 square feet and you’ll find some of the country’s most important buildings here including the National Museum of History, the Clock Tower and the giant Skanderberg Monument of the Albanian national hero.

See Tirana's famous Clock Tower

The 114-foot tall Clock Tower is an unmissable stop on any Tirana tour, and we’ll take you to see this famous piece of Ottoman architecture dating back to 1822. After hearing the bells ring out, you can even climb the spiral staircase to take in the spectacular views over Tirana. Be sure to come back in the evening to see the tower beautifully lit up after dark.

Walk through the winding streets of Tirana city center

One of the best parts of your Tirana trip will be roaming the colorful streets of the city, where brightly painted façades mingle with leafy streets and shopping strips. You’ll join a Local Specialist for a sightseeing tour, before having time to delve into the trendy café districts and vibrant markets where you’ll find some real Albanian arts and crafts.

Learn about the decades of communist rule in Albania

When you travel Albania with Trafalgar, we'll dive into the rich history of the country. You’ll learn how Albania was once ruled by a communist regime and see the remnants of this tyrannical period. Stop by former Communist buildings, visit the Bunk’Art museum, and wander through the Blloku district, once reserved for the communist elite.

Our top 5 things to do in Albania

Our Albania trips will show you all the best things to do in Albania, from the top Tirana attractions to the historical gems of the country.

National Historic Museum

The National Historic Museum is the best Albania museum to explore the country’s complex history. There are thousands of objects, ranging from the Paleolithic era to the Middle Ages to the 21st century. There’s a pavilion dedicated to the crimes of the communist regime, and don’t miss the Beauty of Durrës, a treasured mosaic from the 4th century BC.

House of Leaves

Also known as the Museum of Secret Surveillance, this excellent museum is located in the former headquarters of the Sigurimi, the secret Albanian police, and the German Gestapo. Used as an interrogation and torture house, you can see old surveillance items and learn the stories of those who were spied on and executed during the communist regime.

Bunk'Art

You can’t miss this fantastic museum on your Albania tour. It’s a massive underground anti-nuclear bunker constructed for the country’s communist politicians and military elite. Spread out over five stories and over 100 rooms, including a 200-seat meeting hall, you'll marvel at the architecture and learn more about Albania’s tragic communist history.

Best museums in Albania

Tirana’s museums are some of the best places to visit in Albania and we’ll show you all the historic highlights like the giant underground bunker and a former secret police headquarters.

The most popular food in Albania, byrek is a baked or fried pastry made with flaky, thin dough. It’s stuffed with all kinds of tasty fillings and the favorite is spinach and feta cheese, or you can also find ones with meat or pumpkin. Keep your eyes peeled for the street vendors selling this treat, as it’s sure to become your go-to Albanian snack.

If you’re looking for some real Albanian comfort food, you can’t go past tavë kosi, the heartwarming national dish. It’s made with tender chunks of lamb stirred with rice, garlic and oregano, and covered with a mixture of yoghurt and egg. With a sprinkle of fresh nutmeg, it’s then baked until it forms a golden, creamy crust - and it’s utterly delicious.

Fried Kaçkavall

This beloved cheese is found all over the southern Balkans and Albania, it’s often served in traditional restaurants as an entrée. It’s a yellow salty cheese made with sheep’s or cow’s milk, and you can also eat it in all sorts of dishes like baked kaçkavall or kaçkavall salad. We say fried kaçkavall is the best of them all and you can’t miss it on your Albania trip.

Best food in Albania

If you’re dreaming of discovering the best of Albania, you can’t miss out on the delicious Albanian cuisine, from hearty baked lamb and rice to fried cheese and flaky pastries.

What to pack for Albania

Layered clothing

Whether you travel Albania in the hot summer, the chilly winter or somewhere in between, you’ll need to bring versatile clothing for any weather.

Sun protection

The Albanian sun is powerful at any time of year, especially higher in the mountains. Be sure to bring a hat, sunglasses and high SPF sunscreen for your Albania vacations.

Insect repellent

The Balkan Peninsula is known for its mosquitoes and Albania is no different. Bring along some strong insect repellent and bite cream to soothe any itchy bites.

Albanian phrasebook

It’s always a good idea to learn a few phrases of the local language. You’ll have a better chance at connecting with the friendly Albanians and they’ll certainly appreciate your efforts.

Comfortable shoes

Whether you’re wandering the winding streets of Tirana or beyond, you’ll need a comfortable pair of walking shoes when you discover Albania.

Pack for sustainable travel

Consider your environmental impact when you next take a trip and go single-use-plastic-free by packing a reusable water bottle, a steel straw, your own shopping bags and refillable toiletry bottles.

What to see in Albania: the charm of the northern region

Experience the thrill of a two-day trip in the heart of the Albanian Alps ( Prokletjie ), between breathtaking landscapes and clear and regenerating waters. myTour has prepared for you a surprising itinerary , a wonderful blend of nature and culture . We will discover how we can still live by following the rhythms of nature and seasons in the village of Theth . Then we will be in Shkoder , to appreciate one of the centers of modern Albania and its wonderful lake .myTour takes you to discover the most interesting sites of northern Albania. We are in a region where the landscape is full of colors and magic. Everything changes within a few kilometers. The green of the meadows and forests in the valleys is reflected in the clear waters of Lake Skadar, the largest of all the Balkans. In Theth, the secret of mountain life , where ancient Albanian traditions are still being perpetrated.

Visit Theth and Shkoder:1st day: visit ThethWe leave early in the morning, meeting our guide at 6:30 in the hotel. After a few kilometers, we stop at Qafe Thore , a beautiful panoramic point and an ancient guard station. Today Qafe Thore houses a lovely wood and stone restaurant. Here we stop for breakfast , tasting a fragrant coffee while we can admire impervious mountains and lush valleys. We continue on the way towards Theth , which we will reach after 11 am. Once in the village , we are welcomed at a local hostel ( bujtina ) and get acquainted with the traditional hospitality of the inhabitants of these areas. After lunch, we dedicate ourselves to the discovery of the ancient village of Theth with a guided tour that proceeds in complete tranquility, on foot. The first stop is the church of Theth, built in 1892 and renovated in 2005. Moving inside the town we notice the characteristic tower houses and we reach Kulla e ngujimit . This tower is the symbol of an Albania that no longer exists, linked to traditional family feuds . The tower was in fact used as a shelter in case of blood revenge ( gjakmarrja ) during the quarrels between families. Leaving the village, near the old mill , we take the path that leads us to the Gerla Bridge , with the wonderful view of the Theth Canyon , finally reaching the waterfall . Traditional dinner and overnight.2nd day: Grunas Theth Canyon and Shkoder city tour, Albania between past and presentSweet awakening in Theth, with a breakfast based on organic products which are local and fresh. After recharging, we move on to discover the Grunas Canyon . It is a gorge over 60 meters deep and 2 kilometers long. The environment is truly amazing , considering that it goes from a minimum width of 2 meters to a maximum of 40 meters. To top it off, we will go to visit one of Albania's best kept secrets . The Blue Eye of Theth , not to be confused with that of Saranda! We are in a beautiful natural elliptical shaped swimming pool , with shades of intense blue that brings to mind the structure of an eye. After the visit we will stop for a traditional lunch in a restaurant in the area.In the afternoon we head towards and immerse ourselves in an in-depth visit to the Shkoder castle. This is not just any fortress, the famous Rozafa Castle lives suspended between history and myth , between battles and legends. It was raised in the 4th century BC . and for hundreds of years it remained an untouched, unassailable bastion in defense of the city. Here still the legend of Rozafa is handed down, the young woman who was offered in sacrifice and half-walled inside the walls of the fortress. While half of the body was blocked, the other half was free, to allow the girl to breastfeed, cradle and hug her little boy regularly. Inside the castle we visit the museum which contains an interesting documentation on the history of Shkoder. Here over the millennia different peoples and cultures have followed - Illyrians, Romans, Byzantines, Ottomans and Slavs, leaving substantial traces of their passage.

Tours: Berat & Theth. Date: 26 September 2020 Nationality: Japan

We were only 2, but during Berat visit there were also 2 other tourists who joined in the van, so in total 4. Bledar was really a good driver and guide. This is a good value for money. We had a nice walk in the castle and a very delicious lunch after. While hiking in Theth was the best hike i have ever done in my life.
