  • Our trip to Albania starts in the capital city of Tirana - a clean, easily walkable and INCREDIBLY FUN place to visit! This video is full of great ideas, facts and the best things to do in 2 days in Tirana! We explore the not-so-long-ago communist history and how the city has progressed since then. We visit zones in the city that were previously only open to Communist leaders, as well as learning about Enver Hoxha's bunker system.
    The food in Albania is incredibly delicious and we sample many of the national dishes on a city food tour... and I pass on my recommended restaurant and nightlife suggestions.
    I hope you enjoy it. We had so much fun visiting!

    Tirana looks like such an amazing place to explore! Your video really captures the city's vibrant energy and fascinating history. The blend of communist history and modern progress is so intriguing. Visiting zones that were once restricted to Communist leaders and learning about Enver Hoxha's bunker system sounds like a unique experience. Tirana seems like a fantastic destination - easily walkable and full of fun activities. Thanks for all the great tips and recommendations. Can't wait to visit Tirana myself!
    Have a great day ahead 😊

Or no one going in Germany and talking about "Weimar republic era" 1920s which was a time that every German people wish to forget it. Enjoy your time pretty girl. I really like your videos.

      Thanks for the critique. My comment was not meant to be offensive and in many of my videos I make reference to various cultural/historical/religious facts and legends. I find it interesting to learn these things & I enjoy watching other CZcamsrs who also shed light... even if just for discussion & greater understanding.
      The reason I said it was difficult to travel to Albania without touching on the Communist history is that there are physical reminders of it everywhere - 200,000+ bunkers, museums, memorials, buildings and artworks in Skanderbeg Square. Visitors in Tirana will have no option but to see these relics of a time past. Our tour guide also informed us of the Illyrian, Byzantine & Ottoman history but as I said, this is not a historical channel, however I do find it interesting, so sometimes I mention it. Thanks for watching!

      @@TheLensCapChronicles trust me, as an Albanian myself, you speaking about Communist period in Albania i find it not offensive at all. Its a part of our history, a part of how it has marked us as people, and the most recent one. Now, as the other person mentioned, its true that our history does not start with communism, Albanians ethnicity is ancient, as one of the few Paleo-Balkan people, speaking a Paleo-Balkan language which is very unique and without any close living relatives. We are a people that have outlived various empires from Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman, and various invasions from avars, visgoths, slavs and so on and forth, resisting assimilation. So i can see how some people might be a bit touchy when light is shown only on the communism era.
