Yes! Although Albania is a very small country, it is packed full of gems and historical sites that should absolutely be seen at least once in your life! Whether you are a beach person, a mountain/nature person, a city person, or a cultural person, Albania can satisfy everyone’s desires. Albania is still relatively unexplored, and has only been open to the rest of the world for the past 30 years, so if you are looking for a place that is still undiscovered, but can fulfill everything on your to-do list, Albania should be at the top of the list of places to visit.
Yes! Albania is one of the safest countries to visit as a tourist. The Albanian people are some of the friendliest people in the world, and crime is relatively low compared to other places in Europe. Although Albania is a safe country to visit, you should always practice basic safety, and if you hire a tour guide for your trip, you will always have that extra layer of security being with someone who is quite familiar with the areas you would like to visit.
A: English is widely spoken in Albania, especially in Tirana. Most younger people know how to speak a decent bit of English, as well as Italian. The more remote places you visit, the less common Albanian is spoken, but you do not need to learn how to speak Albanian to visit this beautiful country.
