Bedste tid at besøge
Go in the late morning on a weekday, when tour groups haven't arrived and shopkeepers have time to demonstrate their craft. Spring and autumn offer comfortable temperatures for the uphill walk to the castle.
Budgettips
Entry to the bazaar street itself is free, with the castle museum above charging around 300 lek per adult. Haggle politely on copper and wool items, and expect prices at the top of the lane near the castle to run 20 to 30 percent higher than at the lower shops.

Om
Hurtige fakta: Brostensbasaren følger en stejl skråningsti, der ender direkte under murene på det 15. århundredes Krujë Slot, hvor nationalhelten Skanderbeg engang holdt stand mod osmanniske belejringer. Mere end 300 traditionelle kunsthåndværkerbutikker ligger langs denne 250 meter lange strækning, hvilket gør den til en af Albaniens bedst bevarede markedsgader fra osmannertiden.
Højdepunkter: De fleste boder driver stadig ud af de originale stenforretninger fra det 16. og 17. århundrede, hvoraf mange har jernstænger og træskodder, der ikke er blevet rørt i århundreder. Butiksejerne hamrer stadig kobbervarer i hånden i de samme værksteder, som deres oldeforældre brugte, så besøgende kan høre den stabile ringen af metal mod metal ekko ned ad gaden.
Insidertips
- Wear sturdy shoes with grip, the old cobblestones get slick and uneven, especially after rain.
- Visit the lower end of the lane first for better prices, then browse upward toward the castle so you end the walk at the scenic gate.
- Ask to see the back rooms of copper shops, many keep older hand-hammered pieces separate from the newer machine-made stock.
- Stop for a glass of boza or a cup of Turkish coffee at one of the tiny cafés halfway up, the people watching from those terraces is excellent.
