Money exchange, Albania

Displayed:   times.

Albania is probably the only remaining European country with a currency black market. It means the rates you can get from the people in the street are better than those at the bank. The practice of changing money in this way seems to be semi-legal and it's done quite openly. Use common sense though and don't try to change money at night or in front of a police station. Dollars and Euros are the only accepted currencies.
