Tirana walking tours by enthusiastic local guides, starting under the porch of the opera building. The 4km route takes around 2-2.5 hours and covers all main sights and the city's recent history. There's no fee, but tips are appreciated. Book ahead if you're bringing more than 7 people, for joining the communism-themed tour on Saturday at 15:00 (€10), or the day trips to Kruja, Durres, Berat or Shkodra.
