Albania eSIM — Tirana, the Riviera and the Alps
A BellRoam Albania eSIM gives you mobile data across Albania without buying a SIM on arrival. Receive the QR code by email, install it before you fly and switch it on when you land in Tirana.
Network and coverage
| Network | One Albania / Vodafone |
| Strong coverage | Tirana, Durrës, Sarandë, Ksamil, Vlorë, Berat and the main roads |
| Weaker spots | The Albanian Alps (Theth, Valbona), the Llogara pass and remote mountain roads |
The network shown on each plan is the one your eSIM connects to.
Which plan should I choose?
- A beach week on the Riviera: maps, messaging, ride-hailing and social media fit in a small total-data plan.
- Two weeks including the Alps: choose a mid-size plan if you navigate all day, upload photos or share a hotspot.
- Remote work or lots of video: pick the largest plan and use Wi-Fi for big downloads.
eSIM, local SIM or roaming?
| BellRoam eSIM | Airport SIM | Roaming from home | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ready when you land | Yes, installed before you fly | After queueing and registration | Yes |
| Keep your own number | Yes, on your main SIM | You swap SIM cards | Yes |
| Cost | Prepaid, fixed price | Tourist prices at the airport | Often the most expensive |
Tips for Albania
- The Theth–Valbona hike has little signal: download maps and the ferry times for Lake Koman in advance.
- Albania is outside the EU, so EU roaming bundles usually do not apply.
Visiting more than Albania?
An Albania plan works in Albania only. Visiting neighbours too? Buy a plan for each country: Montenegro, Greece.
