About Kristal Center

Kristal Center describes itself as more than a shopping centre, and it is a practical one-stop place for everyday needs: clothes, cosmetics, a supermarket, banking services and cash machines, a bookshop and jewellery shops. It sits on the Tirana–Durrës motorway, so it suits travellers driving to the coast or the airport. It is not a place to seek out, but it is useful if you are staying in the west of the city or need practical supplies.
