Is Tirana safe for solo female travelers?

Tirana is generally considered safe for solo female travelers. Despite being the capital city, it maintains a relatively low level of crime. It's advisable, however, to remain vigilant about your belongings as pickpocketing can occur, especially in crowded areas. Like any other destination, it's safest to avoid poorly-lit or deserted areas at night. The locals are friendly and hospitable. As long as you practice common sense and awareness of your surroundings, you should have a pleasant and secure visit.

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.

Solo travel

I felt really safe, the people were so so mice, the local food is really good and especially their meet soup. I recommend to learn a little albanian because not many people speak English so it a little bit difficult to communicate sometimes

Solo travel

I regularly travel to Albania because I like it there so much. Every time I land there I feel at peace. I’ve never been in a situation where someone won’t help me, even if we aren’t speaking the same language. The food is good, the nature is beautiful, and it felt safe. Only issue was the pollution and littering for me.

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 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.

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.

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.
