Albania operates on Central European Time (CET) during winter months, which is 1 hour ahead of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC+1). During daylight saving time, observed from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October, Albania switches to Central European Summer Time (CEST), which is UTC+2.
All of Albania follows the same timezone. Major cities including Tirana, Durrës, Vlorë, and Shkodër all observe the same time. Albania shares its timezone with most of its neighboring countries.
Albania has over 750,000 bunkers scattered across the country, built during the communist era. That's roughly one bunker for every four people. The country has both Adriatic and Ionian coastlines, and the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Gjirokastër features Ottoman-era architecture preserved remarkably well.
