Before visiting Tirana for the first time from the UK, people told me Albania would be a dangerous place and I’ll get mugged and stabbed if I’m not careful. In the end this is by far the most dangerous situation I found myself in

    They were awfully quiet usually it sounds like eagle screams mixed with lion screams

    bro, what are you doing filming it?!?! get out of the way and call the cops!!

  3. I just spent a week there with my gf, it’s such a beautiful country I can’t want to go back and see more. Felt completely safe.

    Tourism I think is just kicking off.

    Worst part for me was the amount of trash literally everywhere. In the mountains in Theth, everywhere you look is just plastic bottles, bags and cans.

    I’m glad you enjoyed your trip to Tirana, but posts like this, and several others on this sub, only continues to perpetuate these negative stereotypes against us. You could’ve just said “I enjoyed my trip”.

  5. Lowkey felt safer late at night in Tirana than my native New Zealand! Did a lot of wandering too

  6. Albania is one of the safest places in the EU(and this is by stats).
    The thing with brits is that they have a lot of bs from media about Albania.
    Hope you enjoyed your time there mate 🙂

    Don’t let them kitties fool you, you can never know what they’re capable of.

  8. My ex was from oxford and just before her trip to Albania, her family got her to do all sorts of innoculations just in case she contracts a foreign virus/disease or parasite or something. I had to explain that we dont live in mud huts and certainly dont drink muddy waters over there so chill out.

    If I’ve learnt one thing watching the British Media the last few years is that you guys are heavily propagandized. It’s almost Hoxha level propaganda yet most are totally unaware.
