Take a Ride on the Dajti Expres

Taking the Dajti Expres cable car is one of the most exciting things to do in Tirana. The views from the cabin are breathtaking. The Austrian-built cable car, located just outside the city, will take you away to this complex at the summit of Dajti Mountain on the Balkans' longest cableway. A beautiful 15-minute, 5-kilometer cable car trip over farmland, forests, a lake, and bunkers leads you to the top station at 1050 meters above sea level, well below the difficult-to-reach peak. Hiking to the highest point of the mountain provides panoramic views of the city and the Bovilla Lake.

The restaurant Ballkoni Dajtit boasts wonderful views of the city, while the Dajti Tower Hotel next door includes 24 rooms, an observation platform, and a revolving bar. The lower cable car station is accessible through the Porcelan bus route from the city center, or by using Merr Taxi for a fixed-rate price of 650 lek. It's simple to combine with the Bunk'Art 1 exhibition, which is located directly under the lower station. The excursion includes transportation to the Dajti mountain, located outside of town, as well as a local guide and your cable car ticket.
