Thought it would be cheaper, many places wanted euros, tourist restaurants near Skanderbeg Square overpriced. Nice parks though.
Exchange euros at banks or use ATMs for lek, cash is king outside Blloku and markets. Walk two blocks from Skanderbeg Square for real prices.
City felt lively but summer heat and traffic drained us, museums small, two days was enough for main spots but food kept us coming back.
Loved the vibe, friendly people, cheap food. Byrek and coffee everywhere, one long weekend felt enough but could stay longer for day trips.
Take the Dajti cable car late afternoon for cooler temps and sunset views, buy return ticket at the base kiosk to avoid long lines, bring water.
