Rules in force · 7
  • Albania ↗Albania is outside the EU and the Schengen area and sets its own entry rules; check the official requirements for your passport before you book.
  • Albania ↗If you drive, carry your licence, rental papers and insurance proof, and expect unlit mountain roads and livestock after dark.
  • Albania ↗Land borders with Montenegro, Kosovo, North Macedonia and Greece are used by buses; allow for queues in summer and check that your rental contract allows crossing.
  • Tirana and Central Albania ↗Buses and minibuses (furgon) leave when full or on loose timetables: ask at your hotel the day before where and when the last one back leaves.
  • Tirana ↗Agree the fare in lek before you get in an unmetered taxi, or use a ride-hailing app: quotes in euros at the airport are usually higher.
  • Tirana ↗Pavements are uneven and blocked by parked cars: large suitcases go from the car to the door, never on a walk.
  • Tirana ↗Cover shoulders and knees for Et'hem Bey Mosque and take off your shoes at the door.
