Bank of Albania Museum — Local services in Tirana Municipality

Really excellent museum with lots of interesting pieces. The guide I had was excellent as well - very enthusiastic and knowledgeable on the whole topic.

The guard told me I was supposed to book in advance, which I had not done, but then he let me in and I got a great tour anyway.

Free Tours offered Tues to Thurs 9am, 11am, 2pm

It's a beautiful building, interesting acoustics. Lots of beautiful old coins and money to see.

Bring passport, no photos, everything must be left in locker at...

The guide was very kind and explained everything in a simple and clear way. The building itself is also very impressive. I think this museum is a little hidden gem in Tirana and I really recommend...
