Tirana
Start your day by meeting your local companion in Tirana and heading out on foot to explore the capital. The Postblloku memorial gives you a good sense of the city's layered past, and from there you'll walk through Blloku, which is full of cafes and street art that really show off the neighborhood's current energy. After that, make your way to Skanderbeg Square where you'll find the National Museum and Opera Theatre along with other landmarks worth seeing. Then head over to Tirana Castle located in the city center. Throughout the day you'll pass by several religious sites, including Namazgah Mosque, the Orthodox Cathedral, and St. Paul's Cathedral, which together reflect Albania's mix of different faith communities.
