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.

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.

It's a beautiful country but the public transportation is quite difficult to figure out. The language barrier is quite difficult to overcome as there are rarely any English speaking people around and not many tourists. But there's a lot to see here from UNESCO world heritage cites to castles and wonders of the world.

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. ☺️
