About Murat Toptani street crafts
Inside Tirana Castle and along Murat Toptani street, small shops sell crafts, souvenirs and local products, convenient between sights. Look for embroidery, carved wood, filigree jewellery, copper coffee pots, olive oil products and small bottles of raki. Some shops run workshops where you can learn a craft, such as embroidery or making aromatic olive oil. Compare prices before you buy and ask where items are made. It is especially pleasant in the evening, when the castle bazaar is lit up.
