Flights land at every hour. Our service operates around the clock, which means a transfer booked for a midnight arrival or a 5am departure is handled with exactly the same standard as one booked for midday.

What to Expect When You Arrive in Tirana City Center

Tirana is one of the most underestimated capital cities in Europe. It is compact enough to walk across in an afternoon, vibrant enough to hold your attention for days, and changing fast enough that it looks noticeably different to anyone who visited five years ago. The city your transfer is taking you to is not the grey, Soviet-inflected place that older guidebooks describe. It is a genuinely interesting, increasingly cosmopolitan European capital with a distinct personality.

Skanderbeg Square, where your transfer will bring you if you are heading to the city center, is the beating heart of Tirana. The national museum, the Et'hem Bey Mosque, and the opera house frame a plaza that is best walked through slowly. The Blloku district, a few minutes south, was the exclusive residential enclave of the communist elite until 1991 and is now Tirana's most lively neighborhood, packed with cafes, restaurants, and bars that attract both locals and visitors throughout the day and well into the evening.

The city also serves as the most natural base for exploring the rest of Albania. Day trips to Berat, Durres, and Kruje are all feasible from Tirana, and the onward routes south to the Riviera and north to Shkoder begin here. Your airport to Tirana city center transfer is the first step of what, for most visitors, turns out to be a much larger Albanian adventure than they had originally planned.

Land and proceed to passport control

EU and most European passport holders pass through quickly. Non-EU travelers should allow a little more time depending on the queue.

Collect your luggage

The baggage claim is directly after passport control. There is one arrivals carousel area and it is clearly signed. Luggage typically appears within 15 to 20 minutes of landing.

Exit through the arrivals doors

Walk through customs and through the arrivals doors. Your Tirana Airport Shuttle driver will be waiting just beyond the doors, holding a sign with your name on it.

Head to Tirana city center

Your driver assists with luggage and takes you directly to your hotel or address in the city center. The drive is around 20 minutes. Welcome to Albania.
