Transportation to Airport from Tirana City Center
Tirana Intl. - Nene Tereza Airport
Tirana, the capital of Albania, makes you feel the magic of Ottoman architecture with its mosques and baths dating back to the 1600s. The surface area of Tirana, which is close to Istanbul’s, is a very calm city in terms of population. You need to use Tirana International Airport to visit this city.
It cannot be said that Tirana offer good service in terms of public transport. Until 2013, there were in-city train services that served the city along the shoreline. This line is not used now. The bus is the only means of public transport available for use in urban transport. Train services are now only an option for intercity transportation. A tourist information office is located in the Rruga Ded Gjo Luli district, north of Skanderbeg Square, which forms part of Tirana city center. We recommend you to visit this office to facilitate your access to the city. English speaking office staff can explain you how you can get to where you want to go through the maps.
Passengers who do not want to use public transport can choose to take a taxi or rent a car from the city for a more comfortable ride. The city center is quite small. So, if you have time, you can also visit the city center on foot. It is useful to remind that the frequent construction work done in the center may prevent your walk. It is also possible to rent bicycles in certain areas of the city. Although it is difficult to say that Tirana is a bicycle city, cycling is a pleasant option for short distances.
There are not many alternatives to get to Tirana International Airport from Tirana by public transport. First of all you have to come to Skanderbeg Square from where you are, then you have to transfer. Therefore, we recommend that passengers who wish to travel more comfortably should consider taxi or car rental options.
Bus
The Rinas Express, which takes you from the central square to the airport, is the only option for getting to the airport by public transport. Rinas Express is departing from the north of the Skanderbeg Square, near the other bus stops. The departure time of the buses, which operate between 6 am and 6 pm, may be earlier than the scheduled time. For this reason, we advise you to be there at least a few minutes before the departure time.
If the place you are in is located in a more remote part of the city, you have to get on one of the buses to Skanderbeg Square to get to the city center. After you arrive at the airport, you reach the terminal after passing taxi stops and car parking areas.
Train
The train services are not providing access to the city anymore. However, it is possible to use trains, although with limited opportunities, for long distance travel. With these lines it is possible to travel to Durres, Shkodra, Elbasan Vlore and Librazhd.
Taxi
MerrTaxi and SpeedTaxi are taxi stops used for intra city transportation. We recommend that you use one of these two stops. While it is possible to use a pirate taxis, many of these taxis do not use taximeters, so it is possible that you pay more for them.
Car Rental
You can rent a car from Rent A Car offices located in the city. However, if you are planning to stay in the city before going to the airport, it can be very difficult to find a parking place. Besides, the pavements of the roads in the city are not well. For this reason, driving can be a stress factor.

The airport, which is only a few kilometers away from the city center, has been rebuilt by a Turkish company and started to serve the city in 2015.

At the airport there are also ATMs as well as currency exchange offices where you can arrange banking transactions.

Transportation means are not too much and varied for travelling from Mogadishu Airport to the city center, as well as within the center of the city. Still, taxis and rental cars are ready to transport passengers from the airport to the city center in Mogadishu. If you do not want to use a taxi, there is also a chance to rent a car in the city. However, these tools are not large in number and you are not offered a wide range of models. Nevertheless, it is much more convenient, faster and safer than public transport in the city center.
Security is a very important issue in Mogadishu. It is not recommended that foreigners travel alone due to frequent terrorist incidents in the country. If you are coming to town for business and want to visit different parts of the country, you can evaluate the car rental option. While the prices of public transport are affordable in the city, foreigners are not advised to use these means. However, if you want to get public transportation in the city, make sure you have a local guide and do not leave your valuables unattended.
Taxi
Taxis in the city that can help you to easily reach from the airport to the city center of Mogadishu are almost the only option for foreign tourists. You can find yourself in the center of Mogadishu in just a few minutes by taking a taxi from the airport terminal building. If you want to get to the city center by taxi, it is enough to take one of the vehicles waiting for you after you leave the terminal. Make sure you make a deal about the price with the driver before boarding the taxi. Taxi drivers in the city can charge high fares especially from foreign tourists. Before you come to the country or at the airport you will be able to make your business much easier by exchanging your money into the Somali Shilling, the currency of the country.
Car Rental
You can reach the center of the city and other cities in the country by renting a car after landing to the Aden Adde International Airport, which connects the capital of Somalia to different points of the world such as Istanbul, Dubai and Nairobi. Renting a car in the city is one of the best alternatives, especially in an environment where it is not advisable to use public transport for safety reasons. Once you are at the airport, you can easily rent your vehicle and take the way. However, it is not recommended to travel alone in the country for security reasons. If you are planning to rent a car in Mogadishu and travel to other settlements both in and around the city, be sure to have a local guide with you.
Bus
Once you reach the city center from the airport, you can continue by bus. In Mogadishu, buses are often preferred by local people. That's why it's almost always crowded. This prevents buses from being considered as one of the most comfortable and safe vehicles in the city. Especially if you have cash or valuables on you, avoiding buses is very useful. Nevertheless, if you use your preference on the buses, make sure that you have a local guide or a person who knows the city well with you. You can pay for the buses in cash, but make sure you get the currency shilling. In this case, you can complete your journey at much more affordable prices than currencies like dollars or euros.
Private Vehicle
In the city you can also get a private car from the airport to Mogadishu city center. Private vehicles are usually used by the residents of the city and they take the guests from the terminal to the city center. If you are going to use the car, you can be in the center of the city in about 20 minutes after you leave Mogadishu Airport and follow the city center signposts. The airport also has pausing, waiting and parking areas reserved for those arriving by private vehicle. You have a chance to leave your car in these parking lots for a few hours or a few days. However, remember that parking fees are not very low, especially if you pay after 3 days. If you want to get a private car between the airport and the city center, obtaining a navigation device would be lifesaving. If you are going to drive the car yourself, remember that you should not travel alone as a safety precaution.
