Despite a lot of bad press, Albania is incredibly safe to visit. Like any travel destination, it's important to stay aware of your surroundings and take common-sense precautions. Detailed info here. Some summary notes:
Violent Crime. According to official statistics, Albania homicide rates are similar to other major European EU destinations, and significantly LOWER than ANY US state. Another key distinction of violent crime in Eastern Europe broadly is that it's mostly restricted to organized crime gangs, rather than random acts of violence or aimed at tourists.
Petty Crime. Like many popular tourist destinations, petty crime such as pickpocketing can occur, especially in crowded areas. Staying vigilant and securing your belongings is advised. Carry only a small amount of cash with you. While a lot of places take Visa and Mastercard, some smaller vendors may only accept cash.
Driving. Driving in Albania is messy. If you're not familiar with local driving customs, exercise extra caution and consider hiring a local driver or using other forms of transport. Tirana is especially congested and chaotic.
Healthcare. Albania offers basic healthcare services, but facilities may not meet the standards of Western countries, especially outside of Tirana. Be sure to have travel insurance that covers medical evacuation if needed.
Water. It is recommended to drink bottled water as tap water quality may vary. Some towns have very high quality drinking water, but it's best to err on the side of caution.
