How safe is Albania?

Tirana

Tirana is the capital city of Albania and you find all kind of people there. Anyways in all these years I’ve been living here, I have never felt unsafe. There are enough weirdos walking in every street but they seem harmless. I feel safe here and wouldn’t be worried of anyone or anything.

Tirana

There are almost no crime or drugs in Tirana other than marijuana use The traffic rules are not followed strictly so be careful about crossing the street The taxi drivers have meters so that you don’t have to worry about getting overcharged

Tirana

I felt very safe. Nice city and kind people. I went with my daughter and we felt good. Food was new to me but very tasty. Tirana’s history is interesting, I learned a lot. The sightseeing was very nice and there are some amazing cities not so far like Kruja and Berat. Highly recommend!

Tirana

Quite safe People are very friendly and warm Strangers helping for everything No one disturbs you Is no problem to walk alone / drunk at night I admit is a really safe place 75% of boys try to flirt but if you do not want to they back up

Durrës

A very quiet and safe city. Public transport is not really the best. However nice place to chill, quiet, good nightlife and pretty safe. Please know that these things change when it comes to Tirana(the capital)

Albania

Generally Albania is a safe country, there are crimes but not to the point where i feel very scared that something might happen to me , i mean it's pretty much a quite country with humble ,very kind and helpful people all around. You feel very safe in Albania.

Is Albania worth visiting?

Travel rating

4.6 /5

based on 78 experiences from female travelers

Durrës, Solo travel

Was in Durrës, Albania from June 1st till the 5th. It was amazing, the food was good, the weather was sunny and warm and overall a great experience. Super inexpensive all together. The only downside was the transport, the apps don’t work well and the taxis take cash and that not everyone speak English (but managed to communicate still). Over all felt very safe, and is family friendly. It’s like being in Spain but much cheaper and less of a crowd. I went on a vr-tour where the tour guides showed the nature and told about some local history, it was just the perfect adventure and saw beautiful nature. If I was staying longer I would honor hikes around the area to visit more hidden gems. Overall loved the experience and will definitely travel there again.

Tirana, Solo travel

I regularly travel to Albania because I like it there so much. Every time I land there I feel at peace. I’ve never been in a situation where someone won’t help me, even if we aren’t speaking the same language. The food is good, the nature is beautiful, and it felt safe. Only issue was the pollution and littering for me.
