Arriving
Getting there: Tirana airport and the coast
Tirana International Airport, the bus and taxi into the city, and how the two homes relate to that journey.

Tirana International Airport
Tirana International Airport, Nënë Tereza (TIA, at Rinas), is northwest of Tirana. A published figure is about 11 km from the city. Taxis and an airport bus serve Tirana; check the current timetable, because it changes.
That distance is to the city, not to a specific door on Bulevardi Zogu I. The boulevard starts at Skanderbeg Square, in the centre, and runs north.

The city apartment
Once you are at Skanderbeg Square you are at the start of Bulevardi Zogu I. The apartment’s building number is not published on this site, so ask the booking platform for the entrance after you reserve.
Tale, on the coast
Tale is in Lezhë County, a short walk from its own beach. Lezhë and Shëngjin are a short drive from the apartment. This guide does not quote a road time from the airport to Tale, because that journey was not measured in our notes. Durrës, west of Tirana, is about 39 minutes by road from the city and is the day trip mentioned for the Tirana stay.

How to get to the apartment
Tirana International Airport Nënë Tereza is at Rinas, about 11 km northwest of the city. The apartment is on Bulevardi Zogu I, which starts at Skanderbeg Square and runs north. This drawing marks that area. It is not the building, and the building number is not published here. Approximate, for orientation.

- Supermarket

By taxi
Taxis wait at the airport. Ask for the Bulevardi Zogu I area, by Skanderbeg Square, not for a building number.
The published distance to the city is about 11 km. That figure is not a measurement to a door. If the car has no meter, agree the fare before you ride.
By rental car
Car rental desks are in the arrivals hall at Rinas, and rental offices are in central Tirana.
Drive toward the city centre, then to the Skanderbeg Square end of Bulevardi Zogu I. This site does not publish a parking promise for the Tirana home.
By bus or furgon
An airport bus runs between Rinas and Tirana. Check the timetable on the day, because it changes. It does not stop at the apartment.
From the centre, Bulevardi Zogu I is the walk north from Skanderbeg Square. Furgons are shared minibuses between towns. They are not a door-to-door ride from the airport to the apartment.
