Tirana Travel Safety Guide — Albania

Safety Score: 7.5/10 · Value: 9.5/10 · Beauty: 7.3/10

Albania is Europe's fastest-growing tourist destination and its most extraordinary discovery, a country that was sealed off from the outside world under Enver Hoxha's Communist dictatorship until 1991, then emerged to find its Adriatic and Ionian coast largely undeveloped, its Ottoman heritage towns intact, and its people extraordinary hospitable. Tirana is a vivid, colourful city that has repainted its communist apartment blocks in psychedelic colours, created café culture where bunkers once stood, and generated an extraordinary restaurant scene.
