Albanian Lek.

The Albanian lek is the national currency of Albania, and these articles touch on money, costs and practical matters for visitors planning a trip. Albania does not use the euro, so travellers usually pay in lek, especially in small shops, markets and rural areas, while some tourist businesses also quote prices in euros. The posts here are broader travel reads in which currency comes up alongside other advice: a comprehensive guide to travel and tourism in Albania, a list of reasons the country suits backpackers on a budget, and a collection of interesting facts about Albania and everyday life there.
