No worries! At MagicTowns, we’re here to help you out with a simple guide to explore the city stress-free.

Let’s get you moving smoothly through Tirana’s streets!

Moving Around the City by Bus

Bus transportation in Tirana offers convenience as buses are readily available throughout the city. However, they often get crowded, and the payment system is traditional, with a conductor onboard collecting fares. A ticket costs 40 cents if you’re moving around Tirana.

Check out Tirana’s transportation network with these bus routes to help you navigate around the city easier.

Note: To travel to other cities like Gjirokastër, Berat, or Sarandë, simply head to South and North Albania Bus Terminal, (check the list of cities on their website).

Furgons for Reliable Transportation Choices

Furgons are the backbone of Albania’s transportation system, offering a convenient and affordable way to travel between cities and towns. These minivans crisscross the country, picking up passengers along the way and delivering them to their destinations. They operate as a reliable mode of transport for traversing urban landscapes or regions situated at a distance from the city centre.

Tour Around on Electric Scooters

Want to explore Tirana like a local? Rent a Hubb scooter and hit the road for an adventure! Electric scooters are a popular mode of transportation in the city, offering the freedom and flexibility to go wherever your heart desires. One thing is sure: you’ll have an unforgettable experience! (You can also rent a bike if you enjoy this activity more.)

Catch a Ride With a Taxi

Taxis are your best bet for quick and reliable transportation within areas or cities. Just wave one down or head to a designated taxi stand, and soon, you’ll be easily zipping through the streets. Or you can reach out to taxi companies, and they’ll dispatch a driver to your location. (Unfortunately, we don’t have an Uber platform in Albania.)

Explore Tirana on Foot

Sometimes, the best way to explore Tirana is on foot! Lace-up your sneakers, hit the streets, and explore the story of the city, famous markets, and hidden alleyways. You never know what you might discover! With each step, you’ll uncover new sights, sounds, and smells that will take you closer to Albanian culture.
