This optional tour takes us first on the longest cable car in the Balkans over the Dajti mountain tops. While in the gondola, we'll take in spectacular views of the landscape below, and once at the top, we'll enjoy an included lunch at a restaurant overlooking the city of Tirana and its adjacent valley. After witnessing the city from above, we'll then venture to its depths with a visit to the Bunk'Art Museum. A five-story, labyrinthine underground bunker, the design, origins, and history of the museum will reveal the impact World War II and the Cold War had on Albania's trajectory from the 20th century onward.
Please Note: This optional tour is not available on Tuesdays.
