Istanbul's Grand Bazaar, one of the oldest and largest covered markets in the world, is a veritable city within the city.

What to do in Istanbul's Grand Bazaar?

Wandering through Istanbul's Grand Bazaar, you'll come across a wonderful variety of stalls and products, featuring everything from handmade cloths to gold jewellery, spices and souvenirs. If you'd like, it's common practice to haggle with the vendors—most prices are artificially inflated to allow for 20-30% of bargaining.

Take a break in one of the traditional cafés for a cup of Turkish tea or cardamom coffee. You can also pay a visit to the craft workshops in the Grand Bazaar, where you can see artisans at work, carrying on age-old traditions.

An awakening of the senses

Istanbul's Grand Bazaar is a feast for the senses. The bright colours of the various cloths and carpets, the enchanting scents of the spices and the constant bustle create a unique atmosphere. History buffs will love the bazaar's Ottoman, Byzantine and Islamic architecture and designs. A visit to the Grand Bazaar is an opportunity to discover the local culture through traditional objects and conversations with the locals.
