Bazaar

The most obvious choice for an authentic shopping trip is the old Bazaar, packed with lone vendors and stalls selling everything from feta cheese by the bucket to car parts and Kosovar memorabilia. It's worth poking around even if you aren't planning to buy.

The old bazaar retains little of its former glory, but is an exciting cultural experience not to be missed.
