Eat Your Way Through Tirana’s New Bazaar

When you need a break from all the Tirana sightseeing, take it easy for a little while and wander around Tirana’s New Bazaar. If you’re staying in self-catering accommodation and want to whip up your own meals, you’ll find some amazing organic produce here! Even if you’re not planning on cooking anything yourself, the New Bazaar is still definitely worth a visit. Here you’ll find stalls selling artisan handicrafts, the latest tech, freshly-baked goods, local cheeses, and other dairy products, jewelry, souvenirs, and loads more.

Before the New Bazaar was built, this spot used to house an old bazaar back during the Ottoman Empire. In 2017, it was totally revamped and transformed into the bustling market you can see today. If you’re not interested in any of the food spots inside the bazaar, you’ll find a great selection of cafes, bars, and restaurants surrounding the market.
