Shkodra Getting there & around

Getting there & away

Frequent furgons depart from the main road near Rozafa Castle for Tirana (300 lekë, two hours, 116km) and three daily buses leave from the 5 Heroes roundabout. The train is the cheapest but slowest option (120 lekë, 3½ hours).

There are regular minibuses between Shkodra and Ulcinj (‘Ulqini’ in Albanian) in Montenegro (€8, 40 minutes), crossing the border at Muriqani. By taxi it’s €10 to the border and US$10 from there to Ulcinj. The road to Han i Hotit on the way to Podgorica is in poorer shape. A taxi to this border costs about €15.
