MTC cost guide

How much does a week in Tirana cost?

A Tirana city week: one central hotel, the airport bus, Bunk'Art 2, the Dajti cable car and walking-led days with limited taxis.

Scope, dates and party

These are dated ground-cost examples for two adults sharing one room, staying six nights over seven days, 10–16 November 2026. International flights, visas, insurance and shopping are excluded. They are planning examples, not live booking offers or year-round price ranges.

What is specific to this budget

  • Hotel taxes are estimated from the supplier's figures and counted once. They are not a certified checkout breakdown, so confirm them for the room you book.
  • Food is a planning allowance for meals bought outside the hotel. If your room includes breakfast or half board, remove the matching meals before repricing; meals included in a booked tour are already removed, so they are never paid twice.
  • The budget, mid-range and luxury tiers are led by the hotel: each tier is one named, date-matched hotel, and baskets A and B mainly change the food and activity mix; in some scopes (for example Rio) a basket also swaps transport, such as a private tour replacing bus trips. A higher hotel tier does not imply luxury dining or private transport.
  • What changes the bill most: the hotel you pick, the season and exact dates, and whether you keep to public transport. Party composition and room requirements can change pricing; these examples are for two adults in one room, so a different party needs repricing rather than linear multiplication.

Airport bus

The central airport bus is ALL 400 (EUR 4) per person each way; the airport publishes both, so the EUR figure is an observed alternative, not a conversion. A separate ALL 300 (EUR 3) service goes to the regional terminal and is not this transfer.

Dated cost examples

Six dated, itemised examples from 2026-11-10 to 2026-11-16: 6 nights and 7 days for two adults sharing one room, which is 14 person-days. Prices are as observed in September 2026, cover ground costs only, and are not multiplied out to other party sizes or trip lengths.

Dated planning estimate for two adults sharing one room, seven days/six nights, 10–16 November 2026. Flights excluded. Hotel board, taxes and availability require confirmation. Planning allowances are not supplier quotes.

The central airport bus is ALL 400 (EUR 4) each way per person; the separate ALL 300 (EUR 3) regional-terminal service is not this transfer. Bunk'Art 2 is a separate ticket from the transfer.

Practical notes

Tirana International Airport Mother Teresa (TIA) is outside the centre. The airport lists the central bus at ALL 400 or EUR 4 per person each way; do not confuse it with the separate regional bus-terminal service. Choose Bunk’Art 2 for the central-history visit in this scope and check current ticket prices. Halal suitability remains a restaurant-level question.

Limits of these examples

Spring and autumn generally support walking-led stays; summer heat and winter rain change the pace. The six-night November hotel searches are matched to two adults and one room, but room category, board and checkout taxes remain unverified. The tax-field interpretation is an explicit planning assumption. National tourism statistics do not measure Tirana-only or Saudi-specific demand.
