Tiranë: Attractions and more...
After many years of isolation under the regime of communist leader Enver Hoxha Tirana lacks some sophistication , but has plenty of charm. The latter due to its people, who openly welcome tourists. Recently, many communist-era buildings have been redecorated in striking colours.
The National History Museum on Skanderbeg Square has exhibitions ranging from Roman artefacts to Hoxha’s reign including a brightly-coloured mural of workers marching towards a better future. The 18th-century Et’hem Bey Mosque is at one corner of the Skanderbeg Square and just around the corner is the Tanners’ Bridge, an Ottoman stone footbridge.
Well worth a visit is a trip by cable car to the top of Datji for a view over the city.
The Bllok is an area packed with an array of new bars, cafés, restaurants and nightclubs.
