City guide
Visiting Tirana in August
August brings warm Mediterranean evenings and a relaxed pace as locals head to coastal beaches, leaving the city easy to navigate.
Tirana is the vibrant, colorful capital of Albania, scenically nestled at the foot of Mount Dajti in the country's central plains. Over recent decades, the city has staged an extraordinary rebirth: once-drab communist apartment blocks have been transformed with vivid candy colors and artistic murals.
- From the airport
- Tirana International Airport Nënë Tereza (TIA) is located in Rinas, 17 kilometers northwest of the center. The Luna Travel express bus operates 24/7 on an hourly schedule between the terminal and Skanderbeg Square in approximately 30 to 40 minutes. An official flat-rate airport taxi costs around 20 to 25 euros.
- Getting around
- Central Tirana around Skanderbeg Square and the Blloku district is compact and very enjoyable to navigate on foot. While there is no metro or tram network, city buses connect central points with outer districts and the Mount Dajti cable car station. Taxis are plentiful and inexpensive; apps like Speed Taxi and Ups Taxi are popular and easy.
