The best time to go to Albania

For those seeking a warmer, balmy escape, the best time to venture to Albania is from June to August, where you can bask in temperatures averaging around 31°C. Remember that this is often when incoming visitors are at their highest, and you could encounter busier tourist spots.

If you prefer milder weather, think about scheduling your journey for spring, around April and May, or autumn, particularly September and October. These periods avoid the burning summer heat but still allow for extensive travel, exploration, and outdoor activities. The temperatures during this time hover between 15°C to 25°C, providing a comfortable climate for travel.

Albania's low season generally falls between November and March. These months tend to be considerably cooler and experience more rainfall, making it a less desirable period to visit if you're after sunny shores or countryside strolls. Nevertheless, it's perfect for snagging lower hotel rates and avoiding crowded attractions.

Extra tip: If your travel dates are not set in stone, consider using our comprehensive whole-month tool to pinpoint the most affordable day of the year to catch a flight to any Albanian city of your choosing.
