Pazari i Ri (New Bazaar)
Best time to visit
Early morning on weekdays, when stalls have the freshest fruit, fish and baked goods and crowds are smaller. Late spring through early autumn brings lively outdoor cafés and more vendors.
Budget tips
No entrance fee, pay only for purchases; bring small cash because many vendors prefer it and will give better deals. Taste small samples before buying and compare prices between stalls to avoid tourist premiums.

About
Fatti rapidi: Vendors call out friendly prices as colorful stalls overflow with citrus, spices, and warm bread, turning a quick stop into a full sensory rush. Hunters of vintage finds swarm the weekend flea market while foodies queue for inventive street-food twists that often become local favorites.
Punti salienti: On weekend mornings three generations of stall-keepers stack glossy red pepper strings and mason jars of pale-yellow honey, while the smell of roasted chestnuts and citrus wraps around a chorus of vendors calling prices. A small corner preserves a charming habit of generous tasters: someone will press a warm fig or a spoonful of walnut spread labeled "Lule" into your hand, and before you know it you've swapped recipes and jokes instead of just paying.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes, market floors can be uneven and fish stalls may be wet.
- Best photo spots are the painted arched façade and the crowded fruit and spice stalls between 8:00 and 10:00 a.m.
- Carry small bills and coins, many stallholders do not accept cards and will give better change for rounds.
- Skip the souvenir rows by the main gate, head deeper into the market for genuine local produce and lower prices.
