7 Days Southern AlbaniaRiviera Self-Drive Tour

Arrive at Tirana International Airport (TIA). After clearing customs and baggage claim, collect your pre-booked rental car directly at the airport. Take a few moments to familiarize yourself with the vehicle—your Albanian road adventure begins here.

Drive a short distance to your Tirana hotel (most are 15–25 minutes from the airport). Once settled, the capital is yours to explore at your own pace.

Suggested Tirana highlights (if time and energy allow):

Skanderbeg Square – The beating heart of the city, surrounded by imposing historic buildings, the Et'hem Bey Mosque, and the National History Museum.

The Pyramid of Tirana – A fascinating former museum turned cultural space, now covered in colorful graffiti and offering a unique photo opportunity.

Blloku District – Once reserved for communist elite, now Tirana's liveliest neighborhood filled with trendy cafes, boutiques, and restaurants.
