Korçë Halal Travel Guide

A few miles from the Greek border, this city is Albania's cultural capital. It is full of life during the summer when you can find couples and families strolling through the city's main park, Parku Rinia. You can hike to the top of the beautiful mountain Morava and view the city and its surrounding landscape.

Travel to Korçë

By Rail

An interesting, though slow, way to get to Korça from Tirana is to take the train. The train leaves at 06:00 from Tiranë. Because the train makes a big detour via Durrës, it arrives no less than four hours later at Elbasan, about 35 km from Tiranë, so it should be feasible to make a shortcut. The price is very favourable (295 Albania#Money|lek). The second-hand German carriages are OK, though for some unclear reason all windows are damaged, apparently by bullets. The scenery is beautiful, and until October it is feasible to have the window wide open.

Travel on a Bus in Korçë

Furgons to Tiranë depart every 20-30 min from the fork of the primary street on the north.

Furgons to Voskopojë depart at 07:30, 10:00, 13:00, 15:00 from the fire station.
