First trip I landed in Tirana and got hit with a brutal street-rate exchange. Since then I stick to bank ATMs or reputable exchange offices in town. Withdraw lek with a modest daily limit, avoid airport desks, and compare a couple of places if you need to change cash. Say no to dynamic currency conversion, always pay in lek, and don't swap big sums at once.

I use ATMs at banks in Tirana for lek, avoid street exchangers and airport booths; carry euros for small needs and pay by card when possible.
