Tirana
Europe's cheapest capital, and the launchpad for the Albanian Riviera.
Travellers come here for nightlife, food, meeting people and culture.
When to go
Aim for June, May and July. Think twice about November, December and October — the wettest stretch of the year.

What it costs
Per person per day — a bed, food, getting around, and a share of one paid thing every third day.
These are GoReady's own estimates, not quotes. Nothing here is a price a provider has offered you — search the dates you actually want to see real ones.
