Free tour of Tirana's main attractions

Welcome to Tirana!

This free tour covers the main milestones of communist history in Tirana and compares them with the post-communist era.

During the 2-hour free tour, you'll learn about the theory of communism and the history of communism in Albania.
This tour also provides an interesting firsthand account of life before and after the Iron Curtain, helping you understand the local lifestyle rather than just seeing the city from a tourist's perspective. The undercover stories reveal interesting facts about travel, housing, education, media, propaganda, sports, healthcare, religion, and the economy under communism and in comparison to the post-communist era.
The tour gives a clear picture of how the Albanian people feel about their communist history today.
