Krujë Old Bazaar

Pazari i Vjetër i Krujës

An Ottoman-era stone-paved market street leading up to the castle, with wooden shopfronts selling carpets, felt hats, copperware and antiques. It is Albania's most famous old bazaar.

The bazaar stretches along a stone-paved slope below the castle. On both sides, old shopfronts with wooden eaves sell hand-woven carpets, white felt hats, embroidery, copperware, silver jewelry and communist-era memorabilia, as well as many souvenirs, and bargaining is common. Cafés and restaurants along the way overlook the plain. The bazaar and the castle form a single route, and walking from bottom to top takes about an hour, making it a convenient shopping stop on a day trip to Krujë.
