Albania Points of Interest from OpenStreetMap

Albania's public-facing amenities, shops, tourist attractions, and landmarks exported from OpenStreetMap. The data is contributed by volunteers and maintained by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team, last updated on 2026-05-13. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas likely being more detailed than remote locations.

Use Cases

• Create reference maps for Albania based on tagged amenities and landmarks.
• Analyze urban service distribution based on public-facing amenity data.
• Enrich tourism applications with points of interest tagged via tourism and man_made keys.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a widely-used collaborative mapping project.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• Covers four major OSM tag categories: amenity, shop, tourism, and man_made.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Completeness varies by region; remote areas may be incomplete.
