Dajti Ekspres Cable Car
Dajti Ekspres
A scenic cable car about 4.7 km long. In about 15 minutes it climbs from the city outskirts to Mount Dajti at roughly 1,050 meters, with views over the whole Tirana basin.
The cable car was built in 2005 by an Austrian company. Each cabin holds about 8 people. It crosses farmland and forest, and the view opens up gradually. On clear days you can see the Adriatic Sea in the distance. Near the upper station are a hilltop restaurant with a terrace, a hotel, an adventure park, and hiking trails, where you can eat grilled lamb and watch the sunset. The lower station is on the eastern outskirts, only a few hundred meters from Bunk'Art 1, so the two can easily be combined. The service stops in strong winds or thunderstorms, and winter opening hours are shorter.
Opening hours
Approx. 09:00–19:00 (extended in summer); suspended in bad weather
