Via land and sea
If you're in Italy or nearby, you can catch an overnight ferry from Bari.

Albania is not connected to the international rail network. You can get by train via Belgrade until Bar in Montenegro (bonus stay there) and carry on by bus to Albania.

Other routes by road – also served by busses – connect Albania with Pristina in Kosovo, with Skopje in Northern Macedonia and with Greece.

バスで
Public transportation in Tirana consists of a number of intra-city bus lines. A single trip costs 40 leks (there are only single tickets available) and tickets are sold in the bus by a conductor. Buses marked ‘Unaze’ are for the ring road and travel in a loop around the city centre. There are also lines serving suburban shopping centres and the Tirana Airport.

Public transport in Albania mainly consists of overland buses and minibuses operating as share taxi. The system is quite chaotic with no schedules published, but all cities are well connected with Tirana. The bus station for all connections to the South-west, West and North-Albania is at the entrance to the town coming from the airport. The station for international buses is more centrally located behind the sports palace.

タクシーで
In Tirana, you can do a lot by foot – the central part of the city isn't too big. The fastest way to get around in Tirana is by taxi. Public transportation is not always reliable and doesn’t run after 8 or 10-11 p.m depending on the line. Some of the services you can use from the biggests companies here are:
 * MerrTaxi – 番号: +355 67400 6610, You can also use the taxi fare calculator online: http://merrtaxi.com/tirana-taxi-fare-calculator.
 * SpeedTaxi – 固定回線: 04 222 2555 Website: http://speedtaxi.al/
 * GreenTaxi – 固定回線: 0800 2000

Costs for a taxi generally range from 2-6€.
