Public transport Albania

This bike rental agency is located in the southern part of Tirana's Great Park artificial lake. It offers city bikes, electric bikes, mountain bikes and Rosalies. We don't recommend the latter, which are 4-person velocipede vehicles that are too heavy for hill-climbing and can only be used within the park. However, they are practical if you have small children and stay on the main cycle path. Other bikes can be used in Tirana.

This bike rental agency is located in a basement in the Blloku district, next to the Xheko Imperial Luxury Hotel. It offers all types of bikes (city, mountain, electric...) of good quality and well-tuned, starting at 1,200 lek for 24 hours for a mountain bike. Orgest Disha, the owner, knows his trade and has his own repair shop. He speaks good English and is a good adviser for pedaling all over Albania. For this and for its prices, this is the bike rental agency we recommend first and foremost.

Driving around Tirana requires a certain amount of control and composure. Even so, it's hard to get lost, as the city center is made up of wide avenues all leading to Skanderbeg Square. A final word of warning: avoid Durrësit, Elbasanit and Kavajës streets at rush hour, as traffic jams are particularly frequent there. It is also advisable to leave your vehicle in a guarded area. While large hotels often have a number of parking spaces, this is rarely the case for smaller establishments.

Managed by public and private companies, this heterogeneous network comprises ten lines operating at least between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. throughout the city. Line no. 6 (Unaza) is convenient: it circles the entire northern part of the city center, running along the Lana River and looping around the northern part of the city. Line no. 2 (Tirana e Re) links Skanderbeg square to the eastern bus station. The blue buses of line no. 4 (Qendër-Porcelani) run from the Clock Tower to Bunk'Art 1 and the departure station of the Mount Dajti cable car.
