Europe's 90-day rule. Why Albania, Cyprus, Ireland are not part of it?

Planning a year to explore Europe? The '90-day' rule is likely to appeal to you: it stipulates that non-EU nationals with a valid visa can enter Schengen countries for only 90 days in a 180-day period.

This applies in 25 of the 27 EU countries, as well as in Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland. It may seem like this leaves little time to explore the continent but don't pack your bags to go home just yet.

Here's where you can break your stay so you stay on the right side of Europe's 90-day rule and avoid a possible year-long ban – as recommended by travelers.

Albania is not a Schengen country, meaning that many non-EU nationals – including Britons – can spend 90 days there without being counted against the wider 90-day rule. Albania is growing as a hot destination for tourists in Europe thanks to its beautiful beaches, mountains, affordable cost of living and the hospitality of the locals.

Vlora, on the Adriatic coast, has "the best beaches, great promenades, great restaurants and cafes," says one user on Reddit's r/travel forum. For longer stays, "apartments are super cheap to rent and the cost of living is incredible," they add.

Cyprus is one of only two EU countries not bound by the 90-day rule as it is not part of the Schengen area. However, it has its own 90-day limit for visa applicants. That gives you three whole months to relax on its Mediterranean beaches, explore ancient Roman sites and get stuck into its vibrant nightlife scene.

Apart from Cyprus, Ireland is the other EU country that is not in the Schengen area. Similarly, it has its own 90-day limit for tourists.

Ireland also remains a good option for Britons, who still enjoy freedom of movement there under the Common Travel Agreement (despite being cut off from the rest of the EU after Brexit). This means that their stay in Ireland is not restricted in any way.

North Macedonia offers many tourists visa-free access for up to 90 days. As it is not part of the Schengen Area, this will not count towards your 90-day limit.
