Hi!

I never felt unsafe when was in Tirana. Maybe at first you can get a strange feeling when you enter Albania, but when you need help everybody is willing to help you. People are very friendly. I think you can enter Albania without visa, but probably you will have to pay 10€per person, as we did. For more info check:

About hostels...there is no hostels and it can be very hard to find cheap accomodation in Tirana,but no problem to find expensive hotel:)). This can be your most expensive accomodation during your trip...You can ask locals to help you to find any cheap accomodation, maybe they will tell you more.

Have a nice trip

I could not find any cheap accomodation and paid 25 EUR
there has been reported that there little hotels for 15 EUR though
I did not find them, but I arrived only at 8 pm and didnīt search for long

note that Albania is not like another country in Europe
itīs very chaotic and messy
but just be smart, use common sense and everything will work out
for further questions I recommend the forum on lonelyplanet.com
thatīs where I got my best info for Albania

enjoy!

it was right across the street from Hotel Kalaja.
Hotel Kalaja is mentioned on www.inyourpocket.com, including adress.
note that all info on that website is very outdated though, especially prices.

but google some. I had information that there is a hostel now in Tirana. The best place to ask this is the lonely planet thorn tree forum (EE branch)
or contact 'skinz'(?), she is a member here from Tirana

good luck!
and let me know how things were, 'cause I wanna go back as soon as time allows ;9

cheers
