Immerse yourself in the past of Durres. Explore its archaeological sites with an expert guide and learn why the city was considered the 'Tavern of the Adriatic' in ancient Albania.

Your trip starts at 9:00 at Liria Square. At the beginning of the tour, you will come across some fine specimens of the city's architecture dating back to the 1930's. Visit the Ethnographic Museum and observe the artefacts displayed on the second floor of a traditional 19th-century building. Learn about the different objects and traditional Albanian costumes in the collection.

Visit the Roman amphitheatre from the 2nd century AD. Built during the reign of Emperor Trajan, this is one of the biggest amphitheatres in the Balkans. On your way to the Archaeological Museum of Durres, you will come across the Byzantine Wall, an engineering masterpiece built during the reign of Emperor Anastasius.

Walk down the seaside promenade enjoying the fresh air and the view of the largest bay in Albania. The Byzantine Chapel is our next stop. An early Christian chapel built on the side of the amphitheatre, the chapel's western alcove preserves a unique polychromatic mosaic representing old, Christian iconography.

Learn more about the city's and the country's history in the Durres Archaeological Museum. Then head to the Venetian Tower, where a flight of stairs will take you to the roof and give you some of the best views of this old city.
