Information
Countries: Flag of Montenegro Montenegro | Flag of Albania Albania
Type: Road

The Montenegro-Albanian border crossing is between the cities of Ulcinj on the Montenegro side and Shkoder on the Albania side. One can walk across this border on foot. The border crossing is fairly primitive and offers no amenities such as an ATM, toilet, or shop.

Hitching out

South towards Tirana

After walking across the border, stand about 25 meters down the road where all traffic leaving the border post will pass you. A sign reading "Tirana" is essential. While some drivers may stop, ask for money, or claim that hitchhiking is impossible in Albania, it is quite possible with a little patience to get a lift straight to Tirana from here with no payment necessary.
