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

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!

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

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)

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.
