I found Albania relatively safe. Since I came from Rio de Janeiro, I always end up being very careful on the streets, just like I do at home. Like not walking alone at night, not using cellphones too much on the street, etc. I didn't see anything too serious and I even found the people to be quite polite. But I've always been careful.
Posted: August 16, 2025Its one of the least scary citys in Albania. And its fairly safe for woman. You will experience lots of catcalling tho. I suggest asking female locals questions if you have some for the city or even asking for their helo if you feel like you are being followed. We got your back!
Posted: July 13, 2025Tirana 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.

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
Posted: March 9, 2025I 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!

Hello, I travelled alone and visited 6 countries. One of them was Albania. I started in Spain and got to Morocco, Italy, Albania, Montenegro and Croatia. Albania is one of the safest countries in my opinion. The people help you any time and try their best, even if they don't speak English that well!
