Tirana Required Information

Currency

The official currency of Albania is the Albanian lek (ALL). The lek is divided into smaller units; however, in practice, banknotes and coins in circulation are most commonly used. There are numerous currency exchange offices, often located in banks, exchange bureaus, travel agencies, as well as in city centres and near airports. Credit and debit (bank) cards—particularly Visa and Mastercard, and in some cases American Express—are widely accepted in hotels, restaurants, and shopping centres. For general information on the official exchange rate, you may consult the Bank of Albania website at the following link: https://www.bankofalbania.org/Markets/Official_exchange_rate/ Please note that exchange rates may vary depending on market conditions and the time of the transaction.
