In this video, we explore local markets in Tirana, Albania. First, we visit Pazari i Ri, also known as the New Bazaar. This large, open-air market is located on the east side of Tirana in one of the oldest and most historical residential neighborhoods in Tirana.
Vendors at Pazari i Ri sell fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts and dried fruit, herbs, olives, olive oil, honey, raki, tobacco, home goods, handicrafts, antiques, flowers, plants, and more. The market was originally built in 1939. It was renovated in 1959 and again more recently in 2017.
Surrounding the market there are many restaurants, coffee shops, bars, meat and fish shops, and other small businesses. There are also many apartment buildings surrounding the New Bazaar.
Nearby Pazari i Ri is the Mosque of Mahmud Agha Kokonozi, also called the New Bazaar Mosque. It is the oldest mosque in Tirana and was built in 1750 during the Ottoman era. It is one of the few mosques that survived the communist dictatorship under Enver Hoxha’s communist regime.
It is best to visit Pazari i Ri in the morning if you want to see the market at its liveliest with more vendors open. However, it is a fantastic place to visit at any time of day as there is always something going on in the area.
After visiting Pazari i Ri, we take you to some local produce markets where we have been shopping for fruits and veggies, not too far from Ali Demi, the neighborhood where we were staying.
