My experience at the Grand Bazaar was disappointing. The market is highly overrated, with prices inflated far beyond reasonable levels. Bargaining does not really work, and the quality of many products does not justify the cost. The environment is overcrowded, noisy, and difficult to navigate. Additionally, most sellers do not accept cards or dollars — only cash in Turkish lira, which creates unnecessary inconvenience for visitors. Overall, the place feels focused solely on extracting as much money as possible from tourists. I would not recommend the Grand Bazaar to anyone looking for fair prices or a comfortable shopping experience.

It's a unique place, it seems to have everything. It's worth a visit to see how many people can trade at once. + huge selection + light + good exchange rate - if you don't know Turkish, it's better not to bargain

Beautiful place. I always visit the place when I come to Istanbul. The atmosphere is amazing. Bring a bit of money because once you start shopping, you can't stop
