Solo Female Travel in Albania

Solo travel experience

I felt very safe in Albania. Everywhere I went. I even hitchhiked, which was something I had never done alone in any other countries before! I recommend Tirana, Gjirokastër, Blue Eye, Ksamil, Butrint National Park. I would love to go back and visit more of the country. I found locals to be very nice, helpful and welcoming.

A beautiful country that is not visited enough! It's really worth it ☀️☺️ The people there are super nice and accommodating. We never had a bad feeling during our encounters with the people there. ☺️

Hi everyone. Visiting Tirana has been a nice experience. It took only three days to visit it all and I felt quite safe, but I didn't go out during the night though. This is a feeling visiting around during the day time. There is a lot of history and it is a city worth if you like modern history.

Solo travel experience

- felt safe throughout my time - 3 week trip during September of mid and South Albania - the coast in Albania is beautiful - of course it is a very poor country with lack of certain infrastructure I.e. no trains - Albanian people were very friendly and all the Albanian men I met were respectful and I always felt safe - highlight of my trip was Himare - recommend hiring a car and driving through the country rather than using the public bus system which is unreliable - made wonderful friends in each hostel - super cheap/affordable and access to lots of healthy foods such as juices and smoothies which I loved Probably wouldn’t return to Albania but definitely glad I went!

Solo travel experience

I went to Albania for 5 days and visited Sarande, Ksamil, and Durres. Took the usual precautions and felt very safe and comfortable. Albania is such a fascinating country to visit but transportation is a slight challenge. Very limited/no public transport and taxis are quite expensive so I recommend to rent a car.

Solo travel experience

I went last year and took a ferry from Corfu to Saranda. Charming promenades, lots of restaurants, and families walking around. Then I took a bus to Ksamil, beautiful beaches and Butrint. After that I took a bus from Saranda to Gjirokaster. I felt very safe everywhere.

Solo travel experience

Exploring Tirana's vibrant culture, Ksamil's serene beaches, and Sarande's historical charm made my Albanian travels unforgettable. Each destination offered a unique blend of experiences, from lively city vibes to tranquil coastal retreats. The warm hospitality and delicious local cuisine added a delightful touch to my journey. Highly recommend this diverse and beautiful itinerary!

Albania was an amazing country with so many different things to experience within short distances- they have mountains, beaches and city life. And the people there were so kind and loving - giving places to sleep, food and showing around - so much hospitality❤️

Solo travel experience

I was around Saranda. Beautiful views, friendly people, tasty food, but as a country "in transition" - in a developmental phase. Many people live in poverty, and the infrastructure is adequate, but it is apparent that many years are required for the country to recover from events that led to the difficult situation of the Albanians. Nevertheless, I would gladly return to Albania, because in terms of sightseeing, it really has a lot to offer.

Tirana and other larger cities are usually very safe. Albanians are typically very friendly, as hospitality is a big part of their culture. One thing to pay attention to is to make sure you are not overcharged for things, which does not always happen, but it occurs here and there.

If you are looking for historical places, I would recommend Korçë, Pogradec, Berat. You must definitely see the capital, Tirana. It is a very modern city with lots of bars and restaurants. The food is excellent and cheap. However, if you want to see beaches, you should go to the south of Albania to Vlorë, Sarandë, Ksamil.
