Everything you need to identify Albania in GeoGuessr — from the writing system and road signs to bollard colours, utility poles, and the landscape itself.
These are the fastest visual identifiers — things you should look for in the first few seconds of a round.
Albanian uses unique letters: ë and ç — look for them on signs
Mountains are almost always visible in the background
Communist-era concrete bunkers (pillboxes) dot the landscape — a giveaway
Roads are often narrow and poorly maintained outside Tirana
Many buildings are half-finished or unpainted — a regional characteristic
These details help narrow down a location once you've spotted the country — or confirm your guess when you're unsure.
EU-style blue and green; older Yugoslav-era signs still visible in rural areas
White lines; often faded on rural roads
Red and white on curves
Red and white reflective bollards; some yellow
Wooden utility poles; often leaning or in poor condition
Latin (Albanian)
Albania drives on the right side of the road. In-game, the Google camera car is on the right side — so oncoming traffic comes from the left. This is the norm for most of Europe, the Americas, and continental Asia.
Albania has around 750,000 concrete bunkers built during the communist era — one for every 4 people. The country also gave the world Mother Teresa, born to Albanian parents in Skopje.
