Money exchange Albânia
Our take
Hey everyone 👋
I’m planning a trip to Corfu and thinking about hopping over to Albania for a few days. I have a few questions about money and exchange, and I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who’s done this before:
- Is it better to bring euros and exchange there, or get local currency in advance?
- Is card payment widely accepted in Albania, or is cash still king?
- Where do you usually get the best exchange rates (banks, exchange offices, etc.)?
- Are ATMs easy to find and with reasonable fees?
- Does it make sense to withdraw money in Corfu to use in Albania?
Also, I booked a hotel on Booking, but they’re asking me to pay in cash upon arrival, is this normal in Albania? Should I be concerned, or is it a common practice? And do they usually accept euros or only local currency?
Any extra tips about prices, costs, or common pitfalls are very welcome 🙏
Thanks a lot!

- Where to stay in Albania? Recommendations and advice appreciated!Hi everyone! I hope this is on-topic for this sub. I hope you can help me with some recommendations. Its the first time Im visiting a country I have no knowledge of whatsoever (very exciting) and need to find an area in Albania to stay in this summer for a beach/pool vacation. Details: I can fly to either Tirana og go by boat to Saranda on arrival. I would like to avoid renting a vehicle, since I dont particularly feel safe driving in foreign countries. This means I need to stay relatively close to these cities. My partner would like to feel some luxury (not like super intense, just a little bit) but we are still on a budget. We both really need a relaxing vacation with sun, swimming and good food, but we also want to be able to go for a day trip out and see some nature and do smaller hikes, or visit some of the old cities. We are planning to leave for 10-ish days. I am really looking for specific advice for cities, beaches, hotels etc. (or the opposite if some places should be avoided). Advice on good hikes, good food etc is also very welcome - but might be difficult since I dont yet know what part of Albania we’re staying in. I hope for your help, advice or tips! ☀️ submitted by /u/LifeStorm789 [link] [comments]
