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!

I stayed for a couple days in a budget friendly hotel in Tirana, then took a public bus to Ksamil. I stayed at a nicer hotel there, took long walks and hikes for 3 days. The locals were very friendly and helped when I got lost a bit. Not many businesses were open though, the town seemed dead, only the locals were getting ready for the tourist season.

Amazing little village. Cheap accomodation. The shop has the best ice cream ever on the machine. Pigs free on the beach. The only bad experience was with the "crazy of the village", who tried to untie and leave with my dog. This, however, showed me the character of the other villagers: he was instantly apprehended by the owner of the bar near the shop and word traveled so fast that in the night when i returned to my room, the owner knew and assured me that one is the only dubious character around.
Posted: August 12, 2025Experienced: June, 2024I 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
Posted: August 9, 2025I felt very safe in Albania, although men often stare at women in particular I came to realise if you say hello and start a conversation 8/9 times out of ten they are perfectly friendly and nice to talk to. I loved how in albania you have such a mixture of everything - you have the mountains, the sea, old cobbled cities, new built up cities. The food wasn’t too exciting they take a lot of influence from Greece, all pretty carb heavy.

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.
