Start off your Albanian adventure with these tour packages.

How long should you stay?

The first thing to figure out is how much time you have. Albania might be a small country, but there’s so much to see and do.

Shorter trips (3–4 days)

If you’ve only got a few days, stick to one region to really soak it in. For example:

• Tirana, the lively capital city, is a great base. You can explore Skanderbeg Square, visit the colorful neighborhoods like Blloku, or check out the quirky Bunk’Art museums.
• Head to Durrës, just a short drive away, for some beach vibes and ancient Roman ruins.
• Take a day trip to Kruja, a historic town with a castle and a charming bazaar full of handmade crafts.

Longer trips (1 week or more)

With a bit more time, you can explore Albania’s diverse landscapes:

• The Albanian Riviera: Stunning beaches like Ksamil, Himarë, and Dhërmi will blow you away with their turquoise waters and relaxed vibes.
• The north: Go hiking in the Albanian Alps (Theth and Valbona are must-see spots) and experience traditional mountain villages.
• Berat and Gjirokastër: These UNESCO-listed towns are famous for their Ottoman architecture and fascinating history.
• Butrint National Park: This ancient city and archaeological site is a history lover’s dream, set amidst beautiful nature.
• If you’re up for an epic road trip, drive across the country. The view alone—rolling hills, coastal views, and dramatic mountains—makes it worth it!

When should you visit?

Albania is a year-round destination, but the best time depends on what you’re after.

Summer (June to August)

This is beach season! The Riviera is bustling, the weather is hot, and the sea is perfect for swimming.
Keep in mind it’s also the busiest time, so book your accommodations early if you’re heading to popular spots.

Spring (April to June) & Fall (September to October)

These are ideal times to visit if you prefer fewer crowds and milder weather.
Spring is especially lush, while fall brings colorful landscapes and a cozy vibe.

Winter (November to February)

If you’re into skiing, check out Dardha or Voskopoja in the mountains.
Winter is also great for exploring the cities and cultural sites without the tourist rush.

What to see and do?

Albania is full of must-visit attractions, but here are a few highlights to consider:

• The Riviera: Relax on beaches, explore charming villages like Himarë, and take a dip in natural wonders like the Blue Eye (a crystal-clear spring).
• Tirana: Discover a vibrant city with a mix of modern culture and historical landmarks. Don’t miss the Pyramid of Tirana and a cable car ride to Mount Dajti for stunning views.
• Berat: Known as the “City of a Thousand Windows,” this place is picture-perfect with its white Ottoman-era houses and ancient castle.
• Ohrid(Lake Ohrid): Shared with North Macedonia, this serene lake is just the perfect attraction.
• Theth: A magical village in the north, surrounded by the Albanian Alps. You can hike to the Grunas Waterfall or explore the famous Blue Eye of Theth.

What to pack?

Packing for Albania depends on the season, but here’s a quick list of essentials:

• Comfortable walking shoes (especially for uneven streets or hikes).
• Swimwear and sunscreen for the beaches.
• Layers and a waterproof jacket if you’re visiting in spring, fall, or winter.
• Bug spray, especially if you’ll be in nature.
• Cash: While many places take cards, smaller towns and businesses might prefer cash.

How to get around?

Albania isn’t huge, but getting around can take time due to winding mountain roads. Here are your options:

• Guided tours: If you don’t want the hassle of navigating yourself, join a group or private tour for a stress-free experience.
• Rent a car: The most flexible way to explore, especially if you’re hitting multiple regions.
• Buses and furgons (minivans): These are affordable and connect most towns, though schedules can be a bit unpredictable.
• Taxis: Great for short distances, and they’re generally inexpensive.

A few more tips

• Food: Albanian cuisine is delicious and budget-friendly. Try byrek (savory pastry), tave kosi (lamb with yogurt), and the fresh seafood on the coast.
• Language: While Albanian is the official language, many people, especially younger generations, speak English or Italian.
• Costs: Albania is one of Europe’s most affordable destinations, but it’s always good to have a budget in mind.
