Highlights

The colourful and chaotic Grand Bazaar is the heart of İstanbul's Old City and has been so for centuries. It is impossible to think Istanbul without the thrill of shopping. Shopping in the Grand Bazaar (Kapalı Çarşı) is irresistible for the wide range of unique and beautiful crafts that are available here. Once you see the variety of products with this "very different" and unique Turkish style, you will want to take some home to share with your friends and family, and keep as a memory of your time here. Your personal shopping assistant will help you to find goods you are interested in and also teach you how to bargain with locals.

Itinerary

  1. The Grand Bazaar, one of the largest and oldest covered markets in the world housing over 3000 shops, is more than just a sightseeing spot. Ever since the 15th century, it has been bustling with activity. Every day locals and visitors are haggling to get the best bang for their buck. It is very huge maze.

About Istanbul

Istanbul straddles Europe and Asia across the Bosphorus, with Byzantine and Ottoman monuments, busy bazaars and ferries crossing between continents.

The historic peninsula holds the greatest landmarks. Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and the Hippodrome face each other in Sultanahmet, the Basilica Cistern lies beneath the streets, and Topkapı Palace spreads across the hill above the Golden Horn. A short walk away, the Grand Bazaar and the Spice Bazaar have traded for centuries, and Süleymaniye Mosque, built by the great Ottoman architect Sinan, crowns one of the city's seven hills.

Top-ranked sights in Istanbul: Dolmabahce Palace (Dolmabahce Sarayi), Bosphorus, Bosphorus Bridge (Bogazici Koprusu).
