Albania is open to leisure tourism and visitor numbers are rising strongly. The main traveler issue right now is political protest activity, especially around Tirana, which can sometimes turn violent and disrupt transport or essential services. There is no evidence of a nationwide conflict, airspace closure, or broad banking shutdown affecting ordinary tourists.
