Getting Around Albania
Buses
Buses and minibuses operate between towns. Buses normally have 40 seats and run to timetables (with most departures in the morning). Minibuses have 12-15 seats and tend to leave when full.
Taxis
Shared taxis are a common form of transport in Albania. Cost is normally based on 4 passengers sharing.
Car Hire
Car hire is possible in Albania though self-driving is not the best way of travelling due to poor road conditions, lack of signposting and poor driving standards. Hiring a car with a English-spreaking driver/guide provides work locally and will enhance your travel experience.
Driving
Driving is on the right.
Trains
Limited coverage. Albanian trains are very cheap but extremely slow. For example from Tirana to Vlora, the journey takes around 5 hrs to cover just 200 km.
