Having many shopping centers and famous restaurants around, the historical train station, which is located in the heart of the city, is preferred by many passengers in the transportation to the airport. Buses and taxis operating in different parts of the city are also at the service of the passengers going to the airport. Apart from all these options, another alternative may be car rental.
You can travel between the city center and the airport by taxi in about half an hour. However, in Krakow, where transportation services are developed, you should consider that this option is not very economical in terms of the cost.
Private and municipality buses that depart from four different points in the city center offer transportation service to the airport all day. The travel takes half an hour from the city center to the airport when there is no extraordinary situation.
The train station is located in Krakow Glowny district of the city. Trains that run every thirty minutes provide a very comfortable and fast travel for passengers. You should be careful about the departure time of your train and flight in advance as you will have to walk 300 meters after you get off the train. In this way, by taking the road a bit earlier you can eliminate the risk of missing your flight.
If you want to rent a car, Krakow has rich options. Avis, Budget, Dollar, Europcar, Express, Hertz, Enterprise, Panek and Sixt, which you can get in contact through the phone or internet, offer car rental services in the city and can take back the rented car at the airport.
The airport has two terminal buildings used for domestic and international flights. In the terminal buildings, VIP and business services are offered as well as services such as mail office, lost property office, bank ATMs and internet which are among the general services.
In addition, a great number of stores and restaurants, offering service at the airport, provide great convenience for passengers. Among the stores in the terminals there are Discover Krakow, Aelia Duty Free, Keraniss and Relay. Among the eating and drinking places there are Jet Bistro, Eat & Fly, Awiteks Fly and Coffee Minute.
Tirana, giving a grasp of Ottoman culture to its visitors by the mosque and Turkish bath from the 17th century, is the capital of Albania. Tirana has a small surface area, and a low population ratio. Passengers wanting to visit Tirana use the transportation to the city from Tirana International Airport.
The transportation service provided by public transport in Tirana is very weak. As of 2013, the train line that runs along the coastline of the city has been closed. There is no public transport means except for the bus. Train services are only used for transportation to neighboring cities.
A tourist information office is located in the Rruga Ded Gjo Luli district, north of Skanderbeg Square, known as the city center of Tirana, to make it easier for visitors to use public transport within the city. We recommend that you visit this office. Office staff speaks English, telling you in detail what you need to do through the maps to make your transportation easier. If you do not want to use public transport, it would ease your trip to take a taxi or rent a car.
Other than that, you can also explore the city center on foot. However, as there is often construction going on in the city square, your journey can be halved. In some parts of the city bicycle rental points are located. With the bike you can rent from here you can have a more enjoyable trip.
Options for public transport from Tirana International Airport to the city are quite limited. It will be much easier to get to your destination by renting a car or taking a taxi.
There are buses named Rinas Express which takes you to the Rruga Durres area, a few minutes' walk from Skanderbeg Square. After passing through the exit gates of the airport, you can follow the car park area and find the bus departure point behind the taxi stops. These buses operate between 6 am and 6 pm, with hourly intervals. Moreover, buses are the only means of public transport in the city. The times of departure change frequently, so it is worth checking before you take the bus. Apart from Rinas Express, there is no other bus departing from the airport. So if you are thinking of going to another part of the city, you have to use other bus lines passing through the city center.
Train lines that no longer serve in urban transport are used only for intercity transport, although limited. Using these lines you can travel to Durres, Shkodra, Elbasan Vlore and Librazhd.
It is possible to easily find a taxi from the taxi stop right outside the airport. In addition, there are two taxi stops serving the city transport: MerrTaxi, SpeedTaxi. For our passengers who want to use taxi, we recommend these two. Pirate taxis are often found in the city, but their fees may be higher than the normal taxis. You can come across those who do not use taximeters among these pirate taxis. We recommend you to be careful in this regard for a more comfortable transport.
Car rental is a less preferred alternative to taking a taxi. There are many vehicles in many parts of the city. It is therefore possible to have difficulty parking your vehicle. Also, the asphalt is not well laid out on the road. Driving can also be very challenging because traffic signs are not very well prepared.
