TIRANA, Sept 13 /ATA/ From September 5 to 15, 2025, the roads of Albania have transformed into a vibrant stage of classic motoring, thanks to the arrival of the legendary Fiat Topolino as part of the international tour “Conoscere l’Albania.”
Italian tourists, along with their passion for retro cars, have brought to our country the charm of a true symbol of automotive history.
Following the stop in Kruja, this weekend’s leg of the “Conoscere l’Albania” tour brought the legendary Fiat Topolino caravan to the charming city of Përmet, where crowds of locals and foreign tourists gathered to admire the retro vehicles.
The vehicles displayed in the city’s main square brought together history, nature, and a shared passion for classic automobiles, turning Përmet into a vibrant stop on this unique journey that connects Albania and Italy.
This tour is just the beginning of an extraordinary journey that will take foreign tourists through some of Albania’s most beautiful cities and destinations.
