Is Albania safe for solo female travelers?

Albania is generally safe for solo female travelers. The crime rate is relatively low and people are friendly and hospitable. Albanians are known to go out of their way to help foreigners, especially women. There is a high level of English among the younger generation, making communication easier. However, like any other place, be vigilant about personal possessions and avoid deserted areas during the night.

Tirana, Solo travel

I loved my experience in Tirana I am 100% coming back. I stayed at trip'n' hostel pink bubble and I loved it the staff was amazing and accommodating,the dorm room were nice they had a curtains and a mini table, the room was not that spacious and the lockers were small, the location was great less than 10 minutes walk from the bus stop and all shops.

Albania, Solo travel

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.

Durrës, Solo travel

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.

Tirana

Tirana is safe enough for normal looking people, but some who look different or ave a unique style usually get picked on a lot and people are very judging towards sexuality. Overall it's okay and safe

Tirana

Tirana even though it has a bad reputation from outside, it is one of the safest places to travel. Im from Tirana but from my overall traveling experiences, i differ Tirana to be one of the safest. And even much more safe then big cities of germany or italy.

Durrës

Always be mindful like all places in the world, had no immediate unsafe experience but a few wary moments at night. Keep purse safe from pickpockets and always pay cabs up fromt, they can be a little bit sketchy.

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.
