How to get to | Albania

This is part of a series of blog entries on how to get to countries and places. Here is a link to the index. I plan to eventually cover every country and some other places. If you have a request for a particular country or place please use the email me link at top right, or leave a comment.

There are buses from most neighbouring countries to Tirana, or you can drive (check that insurance covers Albania). There are no trains. Flight options to Albania include:

• Star Alliance - Adria, Austrian, Lufthansa, Turkish
• Oneworld - British Airways, Malev
• Sky Team - Alitalia
• Other selected - Albanian

TIP there is not much competition for flights to Albania, other than from Rome & Milan

TIP if driving or taking a bus allow plenty of time - roads are not generally as good as in other Balkan countries

Here is a link to a post about my visit to Albania earlier this year.
