Kruja bazzar

"The Kruja Bazaar, one of Albania’s oldest marketplaces, has been a vital part of the city for over 400 years. This historic bazaar, located on the main road leading to Krujë Castle, was the birthplace of free trade among the city’s merchants, where traders first officially exchanged various goods. Its strategic location makes it an integral part of the museum complex, while still fulfilling its traditional role as a bustling marketplace. The bazaar is famous for its wide array of traditional Albanian crafts. Visitors can find a variety of items, such as handwoven rugs, beautifully crafted copperware, and silver jewelry renowned for its durability. The skilled artisans of Kruja have been passing down these crafts through generations, ensuring that each piece reflects a rich heritage. The bazaar has expanded gradually over the centuries, shaping the development of the surrounding urban area and establishing itself as the true heart of Kruja. Strolling through the bazaar offers not just a shopping experience, but also a journey through time, where the legacy of Albanian craftsmanship and trade continues to thrive."

"The oldest Bazaar in Albania. Where you'll find all the cute souvenirs you'll need. They have some antique shops, that are more like old museums. It's a touristy area, with some restaurants and hotels around. Nice place to visit. Bring cash. "
