From May 5 to October 31, 2025, Albania will keep all cultural sites open every day. These include museums, archaeological parks, castles, and other heritage locations. Visiting hours will be from 09:00 to 19:00.

Minister Blendi Gonxhja announced the decision.
“Our aim is to offer a richer cultural experience to local and foreign visitors,” he said. “We want to make our cultural assets more accessible during the tourist season.”

However, some sites will follow specific schedules.

In Durrës, the Venetian Tower, the Amphitheatre, and the Medieval Hammam will open from 09:00 to 14:00 and 17:00 to 21:00.

Meanwhile, the National Museum of Independence in Vlorë will have two different schedules. From May 5 to June 30 and September 11 to October 31, it will open from 09:00 to 19:00. From July 1 to September 10, it will open from 09:00 to 12:00 and 17:00 to 22:00.

In contrast, Butrint National Park will be open daily from 08:30 to 20:00.

This extended access is expected to increase visitor numbers. As a result, cultural tourism will grow, and national heritage will gain more visibility.

Finally, Minister Gonxhja invited everyone to explore Albania’s past.
“Come and experience our history and culture in a vibrant and exciting season,” he said.
