What To Expect
Bunk'Art 1
Bunk Art 1 is the best and most innovative museum in Tirana. The museum is located inside a massive communist bunker. From 1945 to 1992, Albania was ruled by a communist dictator called Enver Hoxha. He constructed 750.000 bunkers in Albania, because he was paranoid and afraid of a foreign nuclear attack on the country. The foreign attack never happened, and the communism regime ended in 1992. But Albania still has thousands of unused bunkers. The massive bunker, which accommodates Bunk Art 1, was intended to accommodate the communist dictator and his government if a foreign attack took place. It is a five-story underground bunker complex with over 100 rooms and a multitude of hallways. But it was never used. Nowadays, the bunker has been converted into a very interesting museum about Albania's history. You can listen to Enver Hoxha on the phone, see old TV footage, learn about nuclear weapons and see the dictator's room. You get a unique insight into the dark year under the communist rule in Albania. Simply said, Bunk Art 1 is the most impressive museum in Albania, but it is also a little creepy...
The Dajti Express is an Austrian built cable car in the outskirts of Tirana. You board the cable car at the lower station. The journey to the upper station of the Dajti Express takes around 15 minutes and it is breathtaking. You fly across the tree tops, by the mountain cliffs and you can see the little farm houses below. Once you get closer to the top, you will see a view of Tirana city in the distance and the Adriatic Sea at the horizon.

5.00This one of several trips we took out of the capital Tirana with Jack, a partner in the guide service. No surperlatives are sufficient to describe how good and informative jack’s service was. To back up his knowledge of the politics of this tour he is a genuine, kind and caring professional as well as his driving skills which are excellent, a must in Albania. Because the C’car was not open on the day, jack drove us to the mountain top. His partner Manon is also a great guide and an excellent communicator and administrator re bookings and emails.
Great experience

3.00I recommend negoziating a taxi and see BunkArt1 and a trip to Dajti Mountain. Its a massive bunker, 5 storeys low with several rooms decorated with info about albanian socialist life, and its horrors. Its a brilliant way of telling the story of the countrys past. Not far from BunkArt1 you will find the Dajti Express, a cabelcar which takes you to the summit in 15. mins. Current the price is EUR14 for a return. At the top you will find a hotel, rotating restaurant, playground and outdoor cafe- and off course the beautiful views of Tirana. Highly recommended.
Excellent learning experience

5.00We had a great time walking around the city and learning it,s history from Manon. Perfect Amy to start your time in Albania as you get an understanding of the history and people. Bunker #1 was very interesting and a great way to cool down after walking. Beautiful views at the top of the cable car. Lots to do if you are a family. We will use Manon again, price extremely reasonable for what you get.
