The Old Bazaar of Korça is one of the city’s most treasured historical and cultural gems, a place that brings to life the atmosphere of the past and the region’s rich heritage. Built with distinctive Ottoman architecture, featuring narrow streets and cobblestones, it represents a lively commercial and social hub that has survived for centuries. Every shop, small artisan store, traditional café, or local restaurant tells the story and showcases the art of the city, offering handcrafted products, aromatic spices, traditional foods, and unique souvenirs that reflect the local culture and traditions.
The vibrant colors of the shops, the sounds of conversations and the merchants’ songs, and the aroma of fresh coffee and traditional sweets create an unforgettable sensory experience. The Old Bazaar is not just a place for shopping, but a journey through time, where every visitor can feel the true spirit of Korça and its warm hospitality. It is the ideal place to explore local craftsmanship, uncover forgotten stories, and experience city life in an authentic way, far from modern tourism.
