Dajti Ekspres, Gondola lift system in Tirana, Albania
The Dajti Ekspres carries passengers from Tirana to Mount Dajti through a 15-minute journey covering the eastern outskirts of the capital.
Built by Austrian engineers in 2005, this cable car system stretches across the Balkans region as the longest cableway installation of its type.
The mountain station includes Restaurant Ballkoni Dajtit, which serves traditional Albanian dishes alongside Mediterranean specialties while overlooking the capital city.
Operating from 9:00 AM to 6:30 PM every day except Tuesdays, the gondola lift charges 14 euros for adult round trips and 4 euros for children.
The cableway rises to 1,613 meters above sea level, allowing visitors to transition from urban Tirana to mountain activities within minutes.
