I'm Slovenian but there is no way Slovenia can be as interesting as Romania. Albania is as close to a no-go zone as Europe gets.
Actually it's a pretty nice country with wonderful landscapes and beaches and it has a low amount of tourists.
Romania is the top though, besides being the larger than the two others combined, it has a lot to offer: cities, landscapes, rivers, lots of history.

Well, yes. I was thinking that, too. Slovenia has more dramatic scenery, but Romania isn't lacking for scenery, either. And it has a fascinating history, lots of castles, wonderful folk music and traditions, beautiful national parks for hiking, and much more.
It all depends on what the traveler's interests are.
which place of the 3 would be worth more visiting.
I hear all 3 countries have cool landmarks also,
but don't know much about Albania or Romania or Slovenia
Not sure what your standards for "worth visiting" are. Romania is about 10 times as large as the other two and has a very varied landscape, if you have 2 weeks for visiting and strangely wanted to limit yourself to one of those 3 countries then Romania for sure. However Slovenia is surrounded by other interesting places, in my mind it would be more likely to be included in a two-week trip (along with Venice and/or Croatia and/or Vienna/Budapest/Prague) than Romania.
I had an amazing time in Slovenia. People are laidback, Ljubljana (and Bled and Maribor and Piran) is pretty, standards of living are high, Alps and coast look great..
Albania has a few interesting features but I think most people would go there in addition to Croatia/Montenegro and/or Greece, not instead of those places. Lake Ohrid is on my bucket list though.

Slovenia, Romania, and Albania are quite an arbitrary collection of countries to talk about together in a topic.They all represent vastly different cultures and ethnic groups of people in a nationalistic mindset of existence.
I traveled in Romania this past summer in Middle of July to Early August for 15 days and definitely an incredible experience to my life. My journey in Romania is not like an average tourist because my parents are from Romania, me and my sibling technically have Romanian ethnic heritage, and I have tons of family members living in Romania around Bucharest, Constanta, Eforie Sud, Tuzla. I stayed in a family member’s villa house in a traditional Romanian village and no hotels. This was my 3rd time visiting Romania. I respect, and enjoy my time in Romania, a multidimensional country filled in depth of experience and main events.
People often mistake Slovenia to Slovakia just because they have similar country names, and same geographic sized countries in close proximity to Austria. They are not the same at all, and have an abundance of differences to separate their country identity. I think there is more of a tourism appeal in Slovenia compared to Albania and a really stunning exact geographic location influencing culture, and lifestyle there. Albania doesn’t strike me as a place with much tourist infrastructure for foreign tourism yet compared to a majority of other European countries. However, Albania is not entirely deficient or devoid of pleasant scenery. My overall personal preference out of these countries are Romania 1st, Slovenia 2nd, and Albania in 3rd place of ranks.

Yeah, I agree with you about Romania. I love traveling, and I just went on a 1 month adventure all over European continent in 5 countries of Europe including Romania, France, Czech Republic, Austria, and Slovakia.
I went to Transylvania region of Romania in Carpathian mountains right around Sinaia to Brasov another time around 7 years ago in my 2nd time visiting Romania when I was 16 years old. I didn’t go there this time around because my main theme was visiting Bucharest, and Romanian coastline cities, towns, and villages in Constanta county Southeastern Romania, not enough time to visit other regions of Romania when traveling to other countries in Europe.
I feel Transylvania Carpathian mountains area of Romania is very different from Southeastern coastal Romania almost like different countries in the same country because of scenery, ethnic demographics, historical background, and architecture. There is unique charm in each region, although I prefer beach towns of Romania for now compared to mountains.
Have you visited Romania? Is your ethnic heritage Romanian or Russian, or something else?
