Getting around Durrës

Durrës pairs a working port with one of the longest beaches on the Adriatic, so a car here is as useful for a seaside holiday as it is for onward travel. From the ancient Roman amphitheatre in the old town to the resorts of Golem and Spille just to the south, having your own vehicle means you set the schedule, and the roads to Tirana, the coast, or the mountains are all an easy drive away.

Where a car can take you from Durrës

A car in Durrës turns the whole central coast into your playground. Cruise the seaside promenade, drive south to the resorts of Golem, Mali i Robit and Spille, or head inland to Tirana in well under an hour. The ancient Roman amphitheatre and the old town are easy to combine with a beach day when you set your own schedule.

Driving in Durrës: good to know

Durrës is one of Albania's easiest cities to drive in, with wide coastal roads and plenty of parking near the beaches. The motorway to Tirana and Rinas Airport is fast and modern, making the city a practical base whether you arrive by ferry or fly into the capital. Summer weekends get busy along the seafront, so an early start helps.
