FAQ

Can I use euros in Albania?

Often yes in tourist areas: many hotels, tours and coastal restaurants accept euro, but usually at a worse rate than paying in lek. Taxis, markets and small shops expect lek, so carry both.

Should I exchange money at Tirana Airport?

Only a small amount. Airport exchange counters offer poor rates. Change just enough for your first taxi, then use a bank ATM or an exchange office in town.

Withdraw from a major bank's ATM and decline dynamic currency conversion (choose to be charged in lek), or use a reputable exchange office in town.
