- Find out what it's like at the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul! We'll explore the market for ourselves and share what prices are like here in 2024.
Known locally as Kapalıçarşı, The Grand Bazaar is one of the largest and oldest covered markets in the world.
It’s a sprawling complex of over 4,000 shops spread across 61 streets. Established in 1461 by the Ottoman Empire, it was originally intended to boost Istanbul's economy and provide a central marketplace for a variety of goods.
Architecture: The bazaar features a maze-like layout with a mix of domed and vaulted ceilings. Its design reflects traditional Ottoman architecture, with intricate tile work, colorful carpets, and ornamental ironwork.
Shops and Goods: You can find a vast array of items here, from traditional Turkish carpets and textiles to jewelry, ceramics, spices, and leather goods. The bazaar is also known for its intricate handcrafted items and souvenirs.
Atmosphere: The Grand Bazaar is famous for its bustling and vibrant atmosphere. The narrow streets are often crowded, and shopkeepers are known for their enthusiastic sales pitches. It’s a sensory overload of sights, sounds, and smells.
Historical Significance: Beyond being a commercial hub, the bazaar has historical and cultural significance. It’s been a focal point of Istanbul’s economic and social life for centuries and continues to attract millions of visitors annually.
Bazaars and Hammams: Within the Grand Bazaar, there are also several smaller markets and sections, such as the Bedesten (for precious goods) and the Cevahir Bedesten. Additionally, historical hammams (Turkish baths) like the Çemberlitaş Hammam are located nearby.
Tourist Experience: Bargaining is a common practice in the Grand Bazaar, and it’s part of the experience. Don’t be surprised if shopkeepers offer you tea or coffee as part of the shopping experience.
Visiting the Grand Bazaar offers a glimpse into Istanbul’s rich history and vibrant culture, making it a must-see for anyone traveling to the city.

200 liras are the biggest banknot in Turkey but you cant buy anything useful, how about that. Erdoğan shafted this country badly.

Nothing to do with erdogan everywhere is same Inflation
Inflation is bad every where. Here in the u.s. inflation rose 2.5% in June and that's the jump from June of last year. I do have to say, when Trump was in office, the gas was cheap, cost was down and not as expensive. So if he gets into office, I hope he fixes it, he claims it's easy to make the prices go back down and Biden just didn't want to do it.
