I keep seeing conflicting reports in the safety of Albania for solo females. Anyone have any personal experience to offer?

Hi OP, I’m female, and solo traveled all across Albania for a few weeks. It’s safe, but I experienced a lot of racism in Tirana. That is the one city in Albania I will never go back to.

Albanian here, sorry to hear that.
Our society needs a lot of education when it comes to racial matters. People can be really ignorant and the n words can be throws as the most random thing. Also a lot of racist jokes can be heard.
