Currently, Albania continues to maintain a competitive advantage in terms of the prices of a typical restaurant meal.
Official data from Eurostat for 2024 show that Albania is the second cheapest country in Europe for prices in restaurants and hotels, with costs half the European average (52.3% of the EU average).
This index measures the level of prices compared to the European average, which is set at 100%. Only North Macedonia, with an index of 49.5, is cheaper than Albania in this category.
This means that food in restaurants and accommodation in Albania cost almost 50% less than the average in EU countries. Albania is cheaper than countries in the region such as Turkey (68.9), Romania (68.5) or Bulgaria (53.2) and much cheaper than countries such as Italy (106.9), France (110.0) or Germany (112.1).
In addition to official data from Eurostat, the international platform Numbeo also confirms that Tirana is one of the cheapest cities in Europe to eat out. According to Numbeo, a simple meal for one person costs an average of 9 euros, while a dinner for two people in a mid-priced restaurant is around 22.50 euros. These prices are significantly lower compared to cities like Rome (15€/33€), Athens (15€/27€) or Paris (15€/31€), not to mention capitals like Stockholm where a similar dinner costs 51 euros.
In this context, data from Eurostat and Numbeo complement each other, Albania not only ranks as the second cheapest in Europe for restaurants and hotels, but also offers a very competitive quality-price ratio, especially for tourists from Western Europe who would pay double for the same experience in their own country./ Monitor
