All itinerariesFrequently asked
Q.Is renting a car in Albania a good idea?
Yes — a rental car is by far the best way to explore beyond the main cities. Roads are much improved and coastal + alpine routes reward independent travel.
Q.Which road trip is best for first-time visitors?
The 7-day Albania Highlights loop covers Tirana, Berat, the Riviera and Gjirokastër with manageable driving days and every landscape.
Q.Are Albanian roads safe to drive?
Main highways and coastal roads are in good condition. Some mountain routes (Llogara Pass, Theth) are narrow and winding — drive during daylight and avoid heavy rain.
