It's great to go for a walk, of course, but there are a lot of people. Everything is expensive at prices) You can go once for a checkmark.

Amazing! A city within a city. I've never been to an oriental bazaar, and now I have. It's not that there are a lot of goods and sellers there, it's a special world that you need to look at at least once.

A bazaar with its own atmosphere)
You can find a lot of good things. I didn't give 5 stars only because almost every seller (and not only) on the market smokes like steam locomotives)))

There is a huge selection, you can buy some clothes and souvenirs. I'm not a fan of markets, I can't fully appreciate it.

it's expensive, dirty in places, an ordinary bazaar where they want to cheat, prices are called from "baldy". Neighboring stalls sell the same product, and different prices differ by 2, and sometimes by 3 times. Maybe I'm not used to it, but I don't want to get used to it!

This market is not just a place for shopping, but a living museum, where every stall preserves the stories of Ottoman craftsmen, and the noise of the crowd merges with the echo of centuries, leaving the impression that Istanbul never sleeps.

A beautiful historical place. The assortment is tourist, with large margins. The place is photogenic, but very visited. I recommend you to visit and immerse yourself in the historical flavor of the ancient city

It's a historic place, but the prices are exorbitant. If you want to buy something, just not there. Look for small shops and shops inside the districts, there are thousands of them, and everything is much cheaper there.

They came to satisfy curiosity. Basically, there are a lot of replicas of branded bags and other accessories. Sets, trinkets… We didn't buy anything, because there are mostly souvenirs, and all sorts of replicas)
I liked the market building itself as a historical architectural structure.

Prices are inflated 3-4 times. But you can find cheap souvenirs.
A whole day should be set aside for the bazaar.
There are very nervous sellers in some pavilions.

It's like falling into a fairy tale of a Thousand and One nights, you can buy everything or almost everything! An ancient building, atmospheric, it's just huge, really a Grand Bazaar! If you like something and decide to buy it, it's better to do it right away (after you agree on the price), because then you just won't find this place! And in other places, you may not like this thing or the price so much, but where you looked before is unlikely to find it, tested on yourself

It's huge, but it's not much use. Most of them don't work on weekends for some reason. They sell basically the same thing. The Egyptian bazaar is much more compact, more beautiful and easier to find what you need. Go there instead)

A must-visit if you visit Istanbul. Even if you don't buy anything, but feel the atmosphere of the oriental bazaar.
For me, the main disadvantage is the merchants smoking everywhere. After all, the room is closed - it's unpleasant…

Wow, it's beautiful and vintage. Very oriental, with a local flavor. Sociable sellers, a lot of interesting goods. You can try and touch everything! The best exchange rates in the city if you need to change currency. Be very careful, I bred a lot for money, like sellers of silk carpets 60x90 for fifteen hundred dollars! But it always pulls you back just to walk among people.

An atmospheric place of the oriental bazaar. Be sure to go plunge into the aromas and rich colors of the East. Prices are overpriced compared to the periphery of the same market. An interesting antique market.

A good bazaar, rich in national items and products. The disadvantage is the number of people, and in fact, there is nothing but souvenirs.

Sooooo big indoor (mostly) market. You can visit it for a check. It doesn't cost anything to buy there. Three times more expensive than outside the territory of this remarkable place

There is no navigation. Sellers smoke right inside. And then they drink tea. And then they make deals to buy gold. Loot and gold are carried on funny carts by rustic-looking peasants. It's like there's not 1,000 million trillion dollars in there, but dog food. The best TRY/USD rate

Disappointment. I expected to see outlandish, rare, oriental goods in such an ancient market, but in the end there was only Chinese consumer goods, synthetics, and everything that is in abundance in ordinary Istanbul stores.

Cheaters at every turn ) never buy perfume from them. Not for 3000, not for 500 lire ) all water is crooked . Buy perfume only at a licensed store . They don't sell good perfumes at the bazaar)

The old building impresses with its size, especially the height of the arches. An abundance of oriental sweets, silver, gold. Who has not been to the east- I think it will be interesting and you will like it. The prices are very high, you can buy it cheaper. But it is a tourist center and there are a lot of people.

You can take a walk, you can see, but you can't buy. Tea costs 350 lire, instead of 50 lire as in any supermarket, coffee costs 500 lire, instead of 200 lire in a supermarket, and so on through the list.

GB is a place to definitely visit in Istanbul! A city in a city. With its own streets and intersections, cafes and shopping places. A paradise for shopaholics

It's a pity that not a single photo can convey the atmosphere of such places ((( Smells, paints, polyphonic and multilingual hubbub, the roof blows off instantly and you want to try everything at once, and buy everything! Must-visit as well as the Basilica Cistern)

The Grand Bazaar is a huge market in Istanbul, where you can find a variety of goods: from souvenirs to textiles and carpets. It was founded in 1453 and consists of 66 streets. At the market, you can admire the architecture and atmosphere of oriental trade. However, prices at the Grand Bazaar can be high, and sometimes it is difficult to navigate the maze of shopping malls.

It's just a huge market that I think has everything. It is necessary to bargain, and aggressively, they discount the price by 2 times. The exchange rate near the Grand Bazaar is the most profitable, we looked everywhere and compared, near the hotels the rate is lower. I must say right away, if your goal is to see the entire Grand Bazaar, then set aside a whole day for it at once. I was missing for more than 2 hours.

It's not a good place, prices are very high for September of the 24th year, Chinese handicrafts are being resold. I searched for crossovers and found nothing adequate. Very expensive and very low quality

A lot of gold makes you dizzy. I wouldn't go to the bazaar a second time. There was a lot of rough-cut gold, but I didn't want to buy anything. Beautiful carpets.

Going to see it is interesting and informative. It's not worth buying something, prices are inflated 5-10 times compared to other places.

Oh, and this is a hectic place with a huge selection of various products. I couldn't stand walking here for even half an hour, the same thing is scattered through the streets of the Fatih district.

An amazing place, here you will find souvenirs, sweets, spices, clothes and much more. The people are very friendly, they will always help and prompt. It is important to be able to bargain. We were there in February, there were a lot of people. I'm afraid to imagine what happens there during the season. It's easy to get there, we used a taxi. We were guided by the terrain thanks to the application MAPS.ME . I highly recommend it, it works offline, the main thing is to download the city map in advance🫶🏼

Before visiting any places in Istanbul, it is interesting to read the history. For example, slaves used to be sold in this bazaar. The current market can be visited for gift shopping.

We were in August 2023, there are many different shops selling jewelry, carpets, fabrics and shawls, you can also buy dishes, sweets and much more here, I recommend you to visit, keep in mind that prices are always inflated, they include bargaining with Turks, do not hesitate to drop the price, especially if you take several goods in one the place. We bought silk shawls, souvenirs and pillowcases for pillows.

Pros: big, incomprehensible.
Cons: the goods are not ordered in rows, when they are not addressed in their native Turkish, sellers overestimate the cost of the goods three times. We were convinced by our own experience: they asked how much a set of cups / cups in English costs, one, asked the person sitting inside how much it costs, and received an answer of 500 lira!!! He replied to us in English for 1,500 lire, then dropped it to 1,000 lire. My daughter is studying at the university and speaks Turkish. In general, a deception...

It's clean everywhere. The prices are not bad, you can bargain. The fact that everyone was smoking caused particular discomfort. And this is a closed room. They drink coffee and smoke all the time.

I didn't like it! Narrow streets, overpriced prices, pesky vendors, crowded, everyone smokes… In general, there's really nothing to do there, it's better to shop in other places.

Kapalıçarşı is one of the largest markets in the world, whose history began five and a half centuries ago. Now a famous Istanbul tourist attraction. We took a walk to touch Turkish market marketing once again. We did not initially plan to buy anything, since all the goods offered at the Grand Bazaar can be bought in other places of Istanbul for half the price.
