Tirana
The gateway you pass through on the way to the coast
Almost every Riviera trip starts and ends in Tirana, because the coast is four to five hours south and the coaches leave in the morning from a terminal on the edge of the city. This guide covers Tirana as the gateway it is for most visitors here, arriving, getting across town, finding the right bus terminal, and making one night worth the stop, rather than as a city break.
