Find the right departure terminal, check your bus schedule and plan your journey before travelling from Tirana.
Where is the Tirana bus terminal?
Terminali Jug–Veri
The South and North Albania Bus Terminal is in the Kthesa e Kamzës area, near Casa Italia, outside central Tirana. The Tirana–Saranda route listing identifies its boarding station as Tirane Terminali – Jug Veri, at Rruga Kastriotët, Mëzez.
Match this location with your ticket. For local background, see our Tirana terminal guide in Albanian.
Check your specific route
Tirana also has a separate Eastern Terminal. International coaches, airport services and private operators can use other boarding points.
Do not assume every destination is served from Jug–Veri. Show your taxi driver the exact address, and confirm the station with the operator if your booking details are unclear.
Tirana bus terminal schedules: how to check departures
There is no single timetable for every departure point in Tirana. Schedules depend on the destination, operator and travel date. An older published timetable is useful for initial planning, but it should be checked again before your journey.
For selected routes, search available buses on Albus. Review the departure time, boarding station and ticket conditions. If your route is not listed, ask the operator for the current details.
Browse our bus routes and timetable guides for further planning information.

How to reach the Tirana bus terminal
A taxi provides a direct journey to your boarding point. Show the driver the full station name and address, and confirm the fare before setting off.
If using an urban bus, check that the route reaches your terminal. Ask where to get off and whether there is a walk from the stop to the intercity boarding area.
If you are arriving at Tirana Airport, check whether your selected service departs from the airport or from a city terminal. Plan any transfer separately, allowing time for flight delays, baggage collection and traffic.
