I really liked this city, it was very vibrant and lively. Great food for good prices, friendly people. I arrived at 7:30pm and had to walk to my hostel from the bus stop which I would usually be a little worried about in the dark, but there were many young people walking around and I saw young women walking on their own and felt very safe. Do the free walking tour! It was extremely interesting and very informative. Our guide was very passionate and excited to share a bit of the history of Tiranë and also places for food and drink. House of Leaves was also very interesting. The city park is nice (although the lake is very swampy). The mosque is really beautiful to see as well.
Posted: September 3, 2024Experienced: July, 2024I was a bit intimidated to go to Albania because people told me it was not safe, but I’m so glad I went anyway! Tirana was the first spot I ever solo travelled and I fell in love! It’s a really fascinating city and the people are so nice and happy to have you there as a tourist! I stayed at the Milingona City Center Hostel and loved it! Very pretty and chill! I walked to and from there at night and early morning alone and always felt safe!
Posted: April 3, 2024Tirana is really safe for women traveling alone. I can recommend different views points (pyramid, clock Tower, cable car), to visit the BunkArt to learn more about Albanian political history, to hang out in Blloku and to walk around the Tirana park and its lake!
Posted: March 17, 2024Experienced: February, 2024Tirana is one of the most amazing cities I have visited. Clean, safe, colorful and charming. The people I met there were some of the most hospitable people I have met during my travels. Moreover, the city is very cheap. I highly recommend visiting.
Posted: July 30, 2023Things to do: List of places I've visited and recommend seeing: - Skanderbeg Square - Et’hema Bey Mosque - National Historical Museum - Bunk'art - Kalaja e Tiranes Food: Albanian food is fantastic, if you love meat. Safety: Tirana is very safe. I never felt that I was in danger. Accommodation: I stayed at the Trip'n'hostel and met some great people. The place was not near the bus station, but close to everything else. Recommendations: Learn a few basic words, Albanian is a very difficult language to master, but locals really appreciate it if you can say a few words in Albanian.

I walk at night in Tirana, and it is pretty safe, there have been catcalling before but it has minimised, men tend to catcall foreigners but its a small minority and they don’t really act on it. Central area is very safe.
Posted: August 3, 2024Tirana is a safe place overall in my experience. What I’m mostly negatively experiencing is verbal harassment by older men and (un)fortunately nothing outside “common”. They would make comments about my appearance and ask me out. I was never touched inappropriately or physically assaulted. Ive walked outside in different hours of the day, from 6am to 2am.
