• On foot (you're brave!): Buses leave you close to the round-about where the highway and the central boulevard of the new town meet. From here the old town is a short but very steep walk up. Walk up 'Bulevardi 18 Shtatori' in the new town to another round-about (next to the football stadium). Take the road going up on the left side of the building with the 2 pharmacies (Laboviti st.). Turn left after 50 meters (you can see the castle straight ahead of you), when you've climbed this street for 300 meters you turn right at the crossing (with an Alqi Kondi street sign right in front of you), another 200 meters on this street and you're there.
• Bus: To get from the new to the old town take a bus heading for 'Dunavat', 'Palorto' or 'Sh. Cerciz' (30 lek only). The buses leave from an area on 'Bulevardi 18 Shtatori' across the street from the Raiffeisen bank. It's slightly confusing, but these buses go down to the highway again and take another road up. Get off at Cerciz Topulli square in the old town (the square with a car parking and another Raiffeisen bank). Walk up the main road, take the first right, walk to the end of this little street and go right again, 100 meters down and you're there.
• By car: do not go up Alqi Kondi street as it is one way (going down),do not park in the pazar itself. Go up to the old town either via Laboviti street or Gjin Zenebisi up to where the 5 streets of the pazar meet and go down Alqi Kondi street. Park your car on the lower half of the street where the hostel is.
• Taxi: A taxi from the new town to the old town should cost about 200-300 lek.
