This is part of our Travel guide for Albania, with tolls, traffic rules and routes.

You know the feeling: the tent is up, the weather isn't playing along and the children want to do something fun. So we've put together, region by region, what there is to do nearby in Albania.

Looking for things to do near your campsite? Pick your region below. For each place you'll find the excursions, each with its official website. We picked them for children of around 7 and 9, and we only list places whose own website we checked on 14 October 2026. Opening hours, age limits and prices change, so take a quick look at the website before you go.
