How Long Does the Tirana to Durres Taxi Ride Take?
The drive from Tirana city center to Durres usually takes 35 to 50 minutes via the SH2 highway, depending on traffic. Peak hours (8–10 AM and 5–7 PM) can add 15–20 minutes. From Tirana International Airport (Rinas), Durres is often even faster because you bypass the Tirana city traffic.
