Dajti Express Tirana

Cable car to Tirana's main mountain

Klea from Tirana

""Dajti Express" in Tirana is the cable car that takes you up THE city mountain, where the air is not polluted and the panorama opens up in front of me!"

Since I know Tirana pretty well, I am also conscious that the air quality is not one of the best you can find out there. Sure, it is a lovely busy city, but sometimes too much traffic is just too much. In times like these, when I need a bit of relaxing and some green atmosphere, I cannot think of a more exciting place than Dajti mountain. This is THE Tirana mountain and it has been a place for relaxation and vacation since the times of my grandparents’ youth. Luckily, now we have an addition that makes climbing much easier and fun: a cable car!

While slowly being transported up the mountain on a 15-minute ride, the whole panorama of Tirana opens up just in front of my eyes. It is beautiful, though polluted. Once up the mountain, when my family and I visit, we have a choice of many good and picturesque restaurants and outdoor activities, such as horse riding and hiking, or simply we can just sit and have a coffee while breathing some fresh air again.

The whole cable car experience is something that I highly recommend and enjoy every time I get myself into it!

Tirana Spotter Klea

I am an artsy person, a free speech advocate, a writer and translator that is passionate about her city and the peculiarities that it offers. Always a law student, in the meantime I also run an online interactive magazine with a few close friends called "Out Focused". Why Tirana Tirana is a very chaotic city, with failing systems (transport, addresses), but somehow it all works out. I like all this regulated anarchy, and I think it is one of the best habitats for the cultivation of a free spirit. Where else can you find me online? Facebook ...

Gelato la Nocciola

Italian Ice Cream Parlour

"Gelato la Nocciola" is an ice cream shop I really like in Tirana. They use the typical Italian methods to create their flavors. It's really worth it!
