Albania Group Tours

Visa requirements often change, so it is always worth checking your local government website for the most up-to-date information.

There are no mandatory vaccinations for most travellers. We always recommend speaking to your local doctors; we're not medically trained, so we can't give official advice on vaccines you need/don't need.

Along the coast, Albania has a dreamy Mediterranean climate! Winter (December to February) is generally mild and a bit wet, with coastal temperatures sitting around 10–14°C. In Spring it warms up a little, and by the time summer (June to August) rolls around, you’re looking at hot, sunny days! Perfect beach weather! Autumn brings cooler temps again, but it’s also when Albania sees the most rainfall, especially along the coast. Still beautiful, just pack a light rain jacket and you’re good to go.

Summer (June to September) is the best time to hit the beach, when temperatures are at their warmest! Spring (March to May) and Autumn (September to November) are great for exploring Albania's rural parts. The weather is mild and pleasant, and it’s less crowded than in the peak summer months. 

Yes! Albania is incredibly safe to visit! As with anywhere, we'd always recommend being aware of your surroundings and being alert to petty crimes and toursit scams in busy areas.

Yes, you can drink the tap water in Albania! Add a reusable water bottle to your packing list so you don't have to buy plastic bottles and save money too!

You’ll have no problem finding ATMs in cities and towns across Albania. We'd recommend getting a travel card before you leave for your trip (Monzo and Revolut are great options.) The most reliable ATMs tend to be from major Albanian banks, but your Tru Leader will be able to help you find the best ATMs with the lowest charges.

We'd recommend tipping around 10% of the bill at restaurants and bars. This isn't essential, but it is a nice gesture. Your guide will be able to advise you more on tipping customs when you are exploring the country.
