By Clinic Group Team · 2026-02-01

Albania is quickly becoming Europe's most exciting medical tourism destination. This guide covers everything you need to plan your treatment trip.

Getting There

Tirana International Airport (TIA) receives direct flights from London, Milan, Rome, Vienna, Istanbul, and many other European cities. Budget airlines like Wizz Air and Ryanair offer affordable connections.

Visa Requirements

EU/UK/US/Canadian citizens do not need a visa for stays up to 90 days. Most treatment trips are 3-7 days.

Accommodation

Clinic Group partners with 4-5 star hotels in central Tirana, offering exclusive patient rates 30-40% below standard prices. All hotels are within 10 minutes of our partner clinics.

Getting Around

Tirana is compact and easy to navigate. Clinic Group provides complimentary airport transfers and clinic shuttles. Taxis and ride-hailing apps are also very affordable.

Cost of Living

Albania offers exceptional value. Restaurant meals cost €5-15, coffee €1-2, and a luxury hotel room from €55-120/night. Your savings on treatment alone more than cover the trip.

Safety

Albania is one of Europe's safest countries for tourists. Tirana is a vibrant, welcoming capital with a thriving café culture and warm hospitality.

What to See

If you have a free day, explore Bunk'Art museum, Skanderbeg Square, the Grand Park, or take a day trip to Berat (a UNESCO World Heritage city just 2 hours away).
