Shopping

Shopping in Albania offers a mix of traditional crafts, local produce, and modern retail experiences. Open-air markets, like the Pazari i Ri in Tirana, are vibrant hubs where you can find fresh fruits and vegetables, local cheeses, and traditional products. Handicrafts, such as woven carpets, wood carvings, and embroidered textiles, are popular souvenirs. In larger cities, you'll find modern shopping malls and boutiques offering international brands. For a unique experience, explore the smaller shops and workshops where artisans create traditional crafts. Bargaining is common in markets, so don't be afraid to negotiate for a better price.
