New Bazaar (Pazari i Ri)
Pazari i Ri
Tirana's traditional farmers' market, renovated in 2017 into a lively food district where you can buy fruit, vegetables, honey, olive oil and cheese.
The covered market hall sells fresh produce, local honey, cheese, olives, pickles and rakia. The surrounding alleys are packed with traditional restaurants, grill houses and cafés, making it a great place to sample Albanian home cooking at affordable prices. Nearby are a mosque and colorful buildings, which are good for photos. It is about a 10-minute walk east of Skanderbeg Square. The market is liveliest in the morning, while the restaurants are busiest in the evening.
