Solo travel experience
I was there over the summer. I found it really safe, and public transport was easy to get around on. Some of the routes were a little limited though, and often took longer than the advertised time. It was a really great trip overall but I didn't like the food much though.

Went by myself last summer for 3 months and had the best time. So incredibly affordable, the people are friendly, and as with many places in this world, it is safe but of course be aware of your surroundings and such.

It’s a very friendly country. Almost all teenagers speak English and would help translate. Very inexpensive. Food and produce are fresh. At around 7 pm everyone goes out and strolls on the main boulevard and the restaurant and cafe scene are hopping with activity. Tons of natural beauty.

Albania is really nice. The center of Tirana is quite interesting, with lots of cool bars and cafes set up in beautiful patios. I went to Berat and Girokastër too, which were both definitely worth checking out. I didn't enjoy the beach towns of Sarandë and Ksamil, though nature around the latter was splendid.

I spent 6 weeks in Albania to work remotely and travel around and it was beautiful - especially the north. I used only public transportation, which worked OK. The prices were relatively cheap and the people were very friendly. I never felt unsafe at any point.

I loved Albania. Caught a fast boat from Corfu to Sarandë. Stayed by the sea. Did day trips on public transport to Gjirokaster, Blue Eye and Butrint archaeological site. Took a bus to Tirana and stayed for a couple of days there before getting the bus to Lake Ohrid, Northern Macedonia. I felt safe. I found the people to be helpful, even if they didn't speak English.

I went solo to Albania for 2 weeks and hired a car and drove around the whole country. It was one of the most incredible 2 weeks of my life. I got a local SIM card for my phone so I could use data for Google Maps. I always felt very safe and I honestly didn't want to leave.

I traveled around Albania by myself and I felt safe during the whole journey. People were friendly and although they didn't speak English most of the time, they really tried to help me.
