Getting to Tirana
You can access Tirana with a flying machine or rolling box, Tirana international airport receives flights from many European and international capitals. As for arrival by bus, you can reach Tirana from the south from Athens or from the north crossing the border at two crossings on the Montenegro border, or border crossings from Serbia or Macedonia.
Once inside Albania you can take a mini van or bus from almost all cities to Tirana, just negotiate with the driver on price prior to getting in. Although Albanians are some of the nicest, most helpful people in the world which is one of the attractions of this developing nation, taxi drivers are still taxi drivers and will try to make a buck off you when they can. Maybe it is all the petrol fumes?
Getting to Freddy’s
Get yourself to Skenderbeg Square, Tirana’s main square and town epicenter, if you are coming from the main bus and train station walk down Boulevardi Deshmoret e Kombit until you reach Skenderbeg Square.
