ALBANIA TRAVEL ADVICE
THE BEST TIME TO VISIT
Albania is an emerging gem and one of Europe's best-kept secrets. The best time to visit is late spring (May-June) or early autumn (September-October) when it's warm, sunny, and before the summer crowds fully arrive. July and August are peak beach season on the Albanian Riviera, beautiful, but it will be busier.
TRANSPORT
On our tours, all transport is taken care of for you so you won't have to worry about a thing!
CUISINE & FOOD
Albanian food is fresh, generous, and seriously underrated. Try tavë kosi (baked lamb with yoghurt), byrek (flaky pastry filled with spinach or cheese), grilled meats, and fresh seafood along the coast. Wash it all down with a local Korça beer!
VISA ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
EU and many other nationalities can enter Albania without a visa for short stays. Requirements vary by passport, so always check your government's official travel website before you go.
FAQS
Do I need a visa for Albania?
Visa requirements often change, so it is always worth checking your local government website for the most up-to-date information.
What vaccinations do I need for Albania?
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.
What’s the weather like in Albania?
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.
When’s the best time to visit Albania?
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.
Is Albania safe to visit?
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.
Is the tap water in Albania safe to drink?
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!
Are there ATMS in Albania?
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.
Is there tipping in Albania?
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.
