More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of an air-conditioned minivan into a concrete underworld: narrow corridors, bare bulb sockets and five floors of rooms that once held a regime’s contingency plans. Bunk'Art 1 doesn’t whisper history — it lays it out in clinical rooms and contemporary installations, each corridor a line in Tirana’s Cold War story.

History
Bunk'Art 1 occupies a five-story Cold War bunker built under the Hoxha regime; it has been converted into a museum blending archival material and contemporary art to narrate Albania’s mid-20th-century history.
Conservation
Dajti is part of a national park where staying on marked trails and packing out trash helps limit erosion and protect native forest; using the cable car reduces road traffic to the summit.
