Tirana would be a very difficult city to live in with physical disabilities. Sidewalks are non-existent in many parts of the city. Many buildings are not reasonably accessible. There is a burgeoning disability awareness, but it is still nascent. Many multi-story buildings have elevators, but they require you to go up a flight of stairs to get into them. - May 2013
Bad sidewalks, no ramps, not great. - Dec 2012
This city is not at all accessible for someone in a wheelchair or with limited mobility. - Oct 2011
There is no wheelchair accessibility within the city. There are elevators, but no ramps. Albania is still considered 3rd world and there streets suffer, though some streets are paved or in the process of being paved, or just totally unpaved. Sidewalks are pretty poor to non-existent. - Mar 2008
