FAQs

When is the best time to visit Albania?

The best time to visit Albania depends on personal preferences and the activities you plan to engage in. Generally, the most popular time to visit is during the spring (April to June) and autumn (September to October) seasons. During these months, the weather is mild, with comfortable temperatures and less rainfall. It’s an ideal time for exploring cities, cultural sites, and enjoying outdoor activities such as hiking, biking, and exploring national parks.

Summer (July to August) is also a popular time to visit, especially for beach lovers. The coastal areas, such as Saranda, Vlora, and Durres, offer warm weather and opportunities for swimming and sunbathing.
