Question 2

Is Durres walkable?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Durrës is compact around the seafront, and you can walk between the Roman Amphitheatre, Venetian Tower, forum, and the Archaeological Museum along the promenade. The long sandy beaches south of town are farther.

City buses run to Plazh, Plepa, and Golem, and furgon minibuses link the terminal with Tirana and Krujë. If you prefer an easy pace or are planning day trips, a private tour in Durrës with private transportation can be convenient.
