Adventure tourism is turning into a rising trend, drawing interest from both local and foreign visitors who want to explore more of Albania’s natural beauty.

From city roads to mountain trails, ‘Bike on Bus’ offers a new way to experience tourism. It pushes the adventure one step further, by bike.

Launched as part of the TIP project to promote active tourism and green mobility, it is now a regular service connecting Tirana with nature through cycling.

The idea is simple. Load your bike on the bus and head to the Shutri trails in Shëngjergj, a mountain gem just minutes from the city, perfect for mountain biking.

The Ministry of Tourism and Environment, together with GIZ, supports ‘Bike on Bus’ and points to four clear reasons not to miss it: bike-dedicated transport that’s practical and eco-friendly; MTB-ready trails offering adrenaline and nature every step of the way; Shëngjergj village fresh air, peace, and views you haven’t seen before; and a flexible schedule for every adventurer, with departures from ‘Kinostudio’ bus station, at 7:00, 10:00, 14:00, and 16:00 (17:00 in August).
