Taxi from Tirana to Durrës
Toska Go Taxi connects Tirana and Durrës with a fixed fare of 2,700 ALL (~€30) — Albania's two most important cities, just 38 km apart. Durrës is Albania's main port city and gateway to the Adriatic coast. Our drivers cover the route 24/7, in both directions.
Durrës — ancient Epidamnos to the Greeks, Dyrrachium to the Romans — is Albania's second-largest city and its oldest continuously inhabited settlement, with a documented history stretching back to 627 BC when Corinthian and Corcyraean colonists founded a trading post on the Adriatic coast. The city became one of the most important ports in the ancient world: the western terminus of the Via Egnatia, the great Roman road that linked the Adriatic to Constantinople. Julius Caesar and Pompey clashed near its walls; Mark Antony besieged it. Today, the 2nd-century Roman amphitheatre — with a capacity estimated at 15,000–20,000 spectators and among the six largest in the Balkans — sits in the middle of a residential neighbourhood, one of the most striking archaeological contrasts in Europe.
The modern city is Albania's chief port and Adriatic gateway, handling the lion's share of the country's seaborne trade and ferry connections to Italy. A broad sandy beach stretches southward from the city centre toward Golem and Kavajë. The Archaeological Museum displays a remarkable collection of artefacts spanning the Greek, Roman, Byzantine, and medieval periods. The Venetian Tower and stretches of the ancient city walls — visible between cafés and apartment blocks — hint at the extraordinary depth of history compressed into this compact, endlessly interesting city.
