Albania

Welcome to Albania

Capital of Albania: Tirana
Population of Albania: 2.9 million - 29th in Europe
Size of Albania: 28,748 km2 - 34th in Europe
Languages in Albania: Albanian (official), Greek, Vlach, Romani and Slavic dialects

With its young bustling metropolis, networks of cobblestone pedestrianized streets, coastal beach towns, and cities of ancient ruins, Albania will continuously surprise you. As you reach each new major town and discover how completely different it is from the last, your appreciation will deepen for this tucked-away land steeped in history. Travel, eating, and accommodation here is very inexpensive, freeing you from budget concerns and allowing you to travel in the style that you want. Meanwhile, you may find yourself going days without spotting another tourist. While this means that many things will not be customized for visitors (non-English menus, sparse accommodation, and fewer international transportation options), you'll experience the feel of authentic Albania.

Highlights

Trek through the Albania Alps
Relax along miles of beaches in the Albania Riviera
Explore the capital city, Tirana
Cycle the northeastern or southeastern interior
Go back in time at heritage sites, Berat and Gjirokaster
Meet the friendly locals
