Beautiful Albania - the country of mountains, sunshine, great hospitality, history, and amazing food. Worth to visit local wineries. Very safe to travel. The perfect place for a weekend getaway in November.

My experience in this city was amazing. I loved every bit of it, from great local food, beautiful beaches and architecture to some of the kindest people. In the past few years more and more tourists are coming so the prices might be getting a bit expensive, but it is still a very good place if youre traveling on a budget. I wouldn't necessarily recommend walking alone at night judging by the amount of men honking and catcalling even durring sunlight, however, I would still rank it amongst the safest places I've stayed.

We spent a week traveling in Albania and discovered that the most beautiful places were often the ones we had to search for or simply found by chance. Around Durrës, there are stunning beaches, and we also visited an amazing farm that is really worth the trip. The local people were very kind and friendly.

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.

Tirana
Tirana has a very low (around zero) micro-criminality. There is no risk of pickpockets. It is generally safe for women, essentially if they are foreigners and travellers. However it’s not usual to walk very late in the night.

Honestly I felt very safe The only part of the town that felt off was near the bridge on the way to the lake, there were some buildings in poor condition with not very nice men saying some stuff as I passed by. But I was on a bicycle (recommend the same, otherwise it’s too much to walk), and it didn’t bother it at all even though it was in the evening In the center of the town it was very good, also at night

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.

Its one of the least scary citys in Albania. And its fairly safe for woman. You will experience lots of catcalling tho. I suggest asking female locals questions if you have some for the city or even asking for their helo if you feel like you are being followed. We got your back!

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.

About me
I just joined this app, seems a cool way to connect to fellow travelers and find some help and advice on best activities to do while in a foreign city. My goal is to do more spontaneous trips instead of structured agency tours. I work as a translator for the central bank of Albania since 2021. I have a versatile working experience. My aim is to develop new skills, and venture into a new occupation to make an income. I have been single for seven years. I travel for fun and leisure, and mostly for work related projects. I lived in Canada for most of my twenties.

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.
