Why Visit Albania?
From the turquoise water of the Albanian Riviera to the high peaks of the Albanian Alps, Albania packs beaches, mountains, ancient sites and lively cities into one small country.
Travel Tips
- The local currency is the Albanian lek (ALL). Cards work in cities, but carry some cash for villages and small guesthouses.
- Albanian is the official language; English is widely understood in tourist areas.
- July and August are peak season on the coast; late spring and early autumn are ideal for hiking and sightseeing.
- Mountain roads can be narrow and slow, and winter snow can close high passes — allow extra time and check conditions before you set out.
