Tourist Trap: Beggers
  • Tip Rating:
  • Watch out for the beggers (i know you get them everywhere) at the airport and in Tirana. We saw some man in a wheelchair going into the road inbetween the cars knocking on their windows trying to get money!!!

    Other people use their kids to go out on the streets to try and get some money for them. It is sad and i do feel sorry for them, just beware.

     I've been many times in the restaurant Juvenilia in Tirana. Sorry but my experiences in Albania (10 times) was not as positive as yours!
