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.

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.

Its very safe actually no one really bothers you or try to steal from you. I feel safe at night and during the day. Even in the center feels very safe. Especially for tourists nobody bothers them. I like it here Albania is one of the countries you can feel very safe

Its a really safe place because albanian people have pride that they dont do those things. Maybe at 3:00-4:00 it would be better to stay cause there arent anyone outside but nothing else . its a safe place and albanian are welcome people

Tirana is a pretty safe city. However, just like other places there are shitty people here. I would recommend to look like you know what you are doing, don't look lost and just don't go into sketchy neighborhoods. As a local I always use the main roads at night. Might take a little longer but it's worth it.

Tirana is pretty safe, at least compared to other places I've been. People are friendly, they tend to help you if you ask them for help. There are no pickpocketers, or at least I haven't encountered any in my 20 years of living here! And it's safe to say I can go home at night by foot, but of course I need to be super cautious. You can take taxis as they are pretty safe, just don't take the yellow ones, take white ones.

Amazing country with amazing mountains. Did hiking for 5 days after went to the sea. It was the most surprising trip. I was surprised by the mountain views and tracking routes, how prepared they were and comfortable

Tirana is a great city. I mostly walked around or took the public bus, which was rather easy to understand and the people helped me. Walking around at night I felt mostly safe. I would recommend soing a walking tour to really see the whole city!

About Me
Hi! I’m Lisa. I started traveling this year and I’m so excited about it! At the same time, I also started learning English, so I’m not yet completely fluent. I feel more comfortable speaking Italian and Russian, but I’m happy to practice and improve. What I love about my life is the freedom to do whatever I want: I live alone, I don’t have a relationship or a job that forces me to stay in one place. The only barrier that sometimes holds me back from traveling all the time is — of course — money. I love all forms of art. I enjoy feeling deep emotions in everything I do. I realized that it’s actually simpler than it seems to connect with life on a deeper level — you just need to be open and present. Traveling, for me, is a way to live fully, meet new people, and experience real emotions. I can’t wait to share new adventures and create unforgettable memories together! Do be honest: i ask chatgpt to help me write this presentation text, hahah.
