Our Albanian Tour Guide holding an Albanian National Flag

Sri America's tour brochure quotes " After breakfast, leave for Tirana, the capital of Albania; After lunch, enjoy sightseeing in Tirana with the opportunity to view the city's Pyramid, Clock Tower, Varrezat e Demshmoreve (The National Cemetery of Albania), Palace of Congress & the Skanderberg "

" Tirana, the capital of Albania is known for its colorful Ottoman, Fascist and Soviet-era architecture. Pastel buildings surround the city's focal point, Skanderbeg Square, which is named for its equestrian statute of a national hero. On the square's north end is the modernist National History Museum, covering prehistoric times through Communist rule and the anti-rising Communist uprisings of the 1990s "
