Europe Albania Tirana Shopping

Overview

Shopping The guide was updated: 2024-09-10

As Albania recovers economically from the turmoil of the 1990s, Tirana's shopping scene is gradually evolving. With the growth of tourism, the city is seeing more upscale shops emerging, catering to visitors and competing with other popular tourist destinations. Despite this shift towards modernity, traditional Albanian crafts such as ceramics, jewellery and food items continue to provide an authentic cultural experience for shoppers, allowing them to take home a piece of the country’s heritage.

QTU — Qendra Tregtare Univers

The Universe Shopping Centre (QTU) is a modern and expansive shopping complex, located just west of Tirana's city centre. Covering 13,600 square metres, it is one of the largest shopping destinations in the Balkans.

Bulevardi Gjergj Fishta

For ceramics and jewellery go to the Bulevardi Gjergj Fishta area, which consists of several blocks of excellent ceramic and jewellery stores. Have a stroll through the many unique shops and little boutiques and find the perfect souvenir to remind you of your time in Tirana.

Adrion Bookstore

Adrion Bookstore has one of the best selections of books in the country, including a decent English language selection, with guidebooks and literature.
