Tourists complain about lack of signals and appointments: We Orient ourselves With Hardship

Hey, I just got here and I don't know where to go. Where's the center, this way or the other?

He just got off Saranda's bus and he's going to visit Shkodra, but German tourist Joerg Dauscher feels confused. The northern area's bus terminal isn't located in Albanian Square. Top Channel became Joerg's guide, German writer who on his way to blackZog tells us that this episode will be in the book writing about Albania.

You see that all tourists are confused because they don't know where to turn. The first five minutes are hard to figure out how this place works, then ask people and learn that everyone is willing to help you. The path you have to follow begins to become clear”, he says.

There is no need for change as long as people are eager to provide information, the German writer says, but has advice on Albania's tourist future.

If you wanted to change something, I would suggest that the streets were not left without names; there would be enough basic orient signs; and something else where we tourists get confused is bus stations. They're not all in the same place and they're hard to find”, says Dauscher.

While other tourists show that without the guide, it would not be easy for them to visit Tirana. Their time would be lost to find the way to tourist spots and not to see them.

I don't know, it's hard to find out. There are no signs in English”, says a tourist.

“I don't know where I am and I don't feel comfortable”, says another.

No, not really. But maybe it's easier to see what we want because we're with the guide, but it's actually hard because there's no sign of monuments or roads. Also, there is no city map, a wonder that in every country we've been to in Europe or the Balkans there has been”, the tourist shows.

Another is expressed: “Albania is very beautiful, very touristly, but you need orientation boards”.

We're up one of the bunkers-muse. It's easy to navigate not because we've been before, or because there's indications, but because we have with us the perfect” guide, they say.
