How safe is Albania?
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.

It is overall a safe city, only concern is catcalling during the late hours of night. There are no pickpocketers. I love how I feel safe walking around at all times alone. If you need help, there are people on the street which will try and help you out.

Albania is the safest country I've lived in so far. Cat calling doesn't exist here. Crime does still happen sometimes of course, but it's very rare compared to any other country I've lived in, especially the US!

I walk at night in Tirana, and it is pretty safe, there have been catcalling before but it has minimised, men tend to catcall foreigners but its a small minority and they don’t really act on it. Central area is very safe.

Tirana is a safe place overall in my experience. What I’m mostly negatively experiencing is verbal harassment by older men and (un)fortunately nothing outside “common”. They would make comments about my appearance and ask me out. I was never touched inappropriately or physically assaulted. Ive walked outside in different hours of the day, from 6am to 2am.

Tirana is a safe city, I mean overall Albania is a safe country with great hospitable people, who are very welcoming and friendly. Tirana is growing modern and friendly with tourists. Feel free to visit.
