Travel
Two hours from Rome, three from London, and no visa for EU or UK citizens. Here is everything practical you need before you book.
Getting here
Tirana International Airport Nënë Tereza (TIA) is the country's only international airport and sits about 17 km north-west of the city centre, roughly 25 to 35 minutes from the clinic by car. Direct flights connect it to more than thirty European cities.
Flight durations are approximate and vary by carrier and season.
Practical
EU, UK, US, Canadian and Australian citizens enter Albania without a visa and can stay up to 90 days. Bring a passport valid for the duration of your stay.
The Albanian lek. Euro is widely accepted and cards work almost everywhere, but keep some lek for taxis and small cafés. ATMs are everywhere in the centre.
Airport transfer assistance depends on your treatment package — your coordinator will tell you what applies to your case. Between hotel and clinic walking is usually easiest, and a taxi across town costs a few euro.
Italian is widely understood in Tirana and English is common among younger people. At the clinic you will be spoken to in your own language.
Local SIMs with generous data cost a few euro at the airport. Wi-Fi is free in almost every café, hotel and at the clinic.
Open late in the centre, several are 24-hour. Your prescriptions are written so they can be filled locally, and your coordinator can go with you.
Mediterranean: hot and dry from June to September, mild and wet in winter. Spring and autumn are the most comfortable months to be treated.
112 for all emergencies. Your coordinator's mobile number is available around the clock during your stay, including weekends.
