Avant de partir
Depuis l'aéroport
Tirana International Airport (TIA) is 17km northwest. The Rinas Express bus runs to the city center (Skanderbeg Square) every hour from 7 AM to 7 PM for 400 Lek (€4). A taxi with a fixed fare to the center costs 2500-3000 Lek (€25-30) – use the official taxi desk inside the terminal.
Se déplacer
The city center (Skanderbeg Square, Blloku, around the Lana) is very compact and highly walkable. Many main attractions are within a 20-30 minute walk of each other.
Conseils sur place
- Take the 'xhiro' (evening stroll) between 5-7 PM along the Lana River or in the park – it's a cherished daily social ritual for locals.
- For the best byrek, head to the Pazari i Ri (New Bazaar) in the morning and look for the shops with the longest lines of locals.
- When hailing a taxi, always use an app like 'Speed Taxi' or 'Green Taxi' to get a metered fare and avoid being overcharged.
