Durrës - Local sights
Some important buildings in Durrës include the main library, the cultural center with the Aleksander Moisiu theater, the Estrada Theater, the puppet theater, the philharmonic orchestra, etc. There are also several museums such as the Archaeological Museum and the Museum of History.
The city's beaches are also a popular destination for many foreign and local tourists, with an estimated 600,000 tourists visitsing annually. Many Albanians from Tirana spend their summer vacations on the beaches of Durrës.
Due to the recent construction of a modern highway linking Tirana and Durrës, the travel time is only approximately 30 minutes. You can also make the journey by train, for the token charge of 50leke (about 0.50USD). There are roughly ten trains a day from Tirana.
As in other parts of Albania, numerous concrete bunkers built under the old dictatorship are situated in and around Durrës. They can be found every 100 to 150 meters along the city's beach. They were built to defend the country from a supposed foreign attack from either the West or the Warsaw Pact which never happened; Albania now has an estimated 700,000 bunkers.
