Climb the Pyramid of Tirana<\/h3><p>One of the most striking landmarks in the city is the Pyramid of Tirana. The building was designed in 1988 as a tribute to former communist leader Enver Hoxha, but took on a completely different role after the fall of the regime. For years, the pyramid stood empty and fell into disrepair, eventually becoming known mainly as a giant canvas for graffiti. Today, the building has undergone an impressive transformation and has become a modern cultural hub.\u00a0<\/p><p>Climb the roughly 130 steps to the top of the pyramid for panoramic views across Tirana, including a fantastic view of the Namazgah Mosque. Beneath and around the pyramid, you\u2019ll also find several caf\u00e9s that make for a great place to stop for a drink.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element

Bus tickets are inexpensive and can be purchased directly from the conductor. Just remember to pay in cash, preferably with the exact amount.\u00a0<\/p><p>Taxis are affordable in Tirana, so this was our preferred way of getting around. You can usually hail a taxi on the street, but make sure the driver uses the meter. Taxis generally accept both euros and Albanian lek.
