How safe is 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
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!
Posted: March 1, 2025Quite 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
Posted: February 27, 2025Its 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

I felt really safe, the people were so so mice, the local food is really good and especially their meet soup. I recommend to learn a little albanian because not many people speak English so it a little bit difficult to communicate sometimes
