What To Expect
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. The upper station of the Dajti Cable Car is 1613 metres above sea level. The view from the upper balcony is impressive. You can see the entire city of Tirana, the Adriatic Sea and the Port of Durres. Albania is a very mountainous country, so you will see various hills and valleys in the distance. At the top of the cliff, there is the Balcony Restaurant which has floor to ceiling windows and it is the perfect spot for lunch (not included). You can also go on top of the Dajti Tower Hotel and step out on the viewing terrace or go to the rotating bar.
The National History Museum is a landmark in Tirana. The museum displays Albania's archaeological treasures from Illyrian times until today. The collection includes statues from the Greek and Roman period, as well as a replica of Skanderbeg's sword. There is also a gallery about the prosecutions during the communist regime.

5.00The tour was excellent and Jack was very friendly. He carried out the tour in a highly professional way; thanks to him I learned a lot of things (related to Albanian politics and history) that I didn't know at all.
