Markets
In Durrës, street markets are everywhere. And then there's the famous 'Fresh Market'.
All Durrës is a Market, and all the men and women merely shoppers. Street markets can be everyday events or weekly, and sell everything from second-hand clothes to obsolete audio and computer technology. Sometimes it's hard to tell where shops end and the street markets begin.
The Fresh Market
Located on the Rruga Abaz Çelkupa, and just across the road from the Bus Station on Rruga Ardria, this market is THE emporium for fresh produce of every kind.
The building is open from 5am to 18:30 most days, but every 2nd Monday it's closed for cleaning. Starting from Monday, 10 October, you can calculate which Mondays to miss out.
Tregu i Vogel Industrial (The Small Market)
Between the Rruga Mozaikeve and Rruga Abaz Çelkupa, and just north of the Fresh Market, with entrances on either side, is a covered walk-through market selling the same kinds of homewares as Jumbo, plus affordable clothing and other goods. It's like an Aladdin's cave of individual shops set into alcoves and is worth a browse, even if the goods on display can be found elsewhere.
Tregu i Madh Industrial (The Big Market)
Further up towards Rruga Glaukia and Niko Dovana, this is an even bigger Aladdin's cave with similar goods to the Vogel. These places are wonderful to wander around, even if you don't buy anything.
