The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to Albania:
The Republic of Albania – a sovereign state located on the Balkan Peninsula in South-eastern Europe. It has a coast on the Adriatic Sea to the west, and on the Ionian Sea to the southwest. It is less than 100 km (62 mi) from Italy, across the Strait of Otranto. Albania is a parliamentary democracy that is transforming its economy into a market-oriented system. The Albanian capital, Tirana, is home to 350,000 of the country's 3.6 million population.
