Market. Authentic. You can just enter the market. The prices are of course tourist. In principle, you can look for gold. Yes, but I can advise you to buy spices and so on in other stores and possibly closer to the hotel…

Bargain it's loved here! Go deep into the bazaar and onto the street rows, the prices are more democratic there! There are good things, but there are not very good quality!

It's beautiful inside, colorful, but the prices are clearly overpriced. There are many currency exchange offices with a good exchange rate. It is worth visiting to familiarize yourself with the architecture of the market.

It's just junk, I didn't find anything, 3 stars, because it's fun to walk around such a big bazaar, but if I didn't find anything interesting, it doesn't mean the place sucks at all)

The analogue of today's Sadovod market in Moscow. There are a lot of cheap things! Not here for high-quality clothes.

Not the most pleasant place, be prepared that your feet will be crushed, your hands will be wiped off, and you will be hugged so much that you will not fly home. A typical oriental bazaar, without price tags, everything is in words. We need to bargain

Excellent architecture, excellent flavor, prices are even humane in some places. It's up to everyone to buy or not, but everyone should please their eyesight, nose and hearing!

A magical place, especially antique shops. The rest is generally wild consumer goods and the fierce nineties with shoes spread out on a newspaper in the corners.

The place is touristic and interesting. You can't go hungry, you can eat too many goodies. It's nice to see, the atmosphere is like a bazaar, everything is organized and decent. I was getting high for a walk.

If you consider it as a tourist attraction, it's a great place. If we consider it as a market, we didn't like it. Expensive and clueless

A beautiful, historical place!
That's it- the prices are too high, everyone has the same assortment.
Everyone is buying up this yellow gold, and they still don't understand why?)))

If your funds are tight in your pocket, then welcome to the main market of Istanbul. Here you will be hung with nine-carat gold, wrapped in Hurem Sultan robes, put turmeric and pistachios in your pockets and fed with delicious starch brewed in syrup, it's called lukum. At the grand bazaar, time seemed to freeze at zero. And as before, and in the whole area, there is enough brilliance here, there is not enough content. And what remains of the great ancestors is gradually being eaten by the fungus. It's worth visiting this place as an excursion, it's worth wrapping up a little and eating meat at the Nusret restaurant, but I don't advise using the grand bazaar as a place to shop, it's expensive and stupid.

Nicely. I really want to buy something all the time while walking around the bazaar))) I don't understand how I became the owner of super expensive fruit tea, when I transferred the purchase to rubles, I felt sick))
But I recommend going in anyway, especially if you're okay with impulse purchases.

Well, what can I say about the huge Oriental Bazaar, which probably can't do without a day. It's a pretty colorful place. However, the second time is unlikely to go.

Big, but you won't get lost. A huge range of products for every taste. Sellers are haggling and want to sell the goods. Clean and spacious. There are many exchangers with a favorable exchange rate. A special atmosphere. I would love to visit again

An old charismatic place, lots of thieves. At the bazaar, everyone has the same thing in terms of goods. Everyone says that he has an exclusive - he is everywhere there))))
Sweets, spices, take them, everything is decent, but all sorts of health supplements Ala droste a pinch in tea will be good for you, do not believe everything is bullshit.

The only advantage is to check in to be in this place. It's smoky, the air is stuffy, the people are dark, in principle, it can be compared with the Chinese market of the 90s, but with x2 prices.

Ooo, this is a huge territory for training on getting discounts in the process of furious trading. Do you want three times cheaper? No problem, but you'll have to groan in an attempt to lower the price. At first there is an innate shyness, but then there is excitement. Especially distinguished in achieving their goal, the seller treats them to tea in commemoration of the transaction. It gives moral satisfaction. As for the assortment, it is very diverse: clothes, jewelry, various utensils, all sorts of trinkets. The territory is both inside and outside the building, up to the Egyptian bazaar. In general, everyone has endurance, perseverance and patience. Before you go there, make a shopping list, otherwise you will spend all the money at the entrance. Before you buy, walk around for a day (it will definitely be a little) and look at other shops. 😉

I really, really didn't like it here. It is very smoky inside, the room is not particularly ventilated, it is extremely unpleasant to walk. In fact, this is an ordinary market with goods of unknown origin.

The Grand Bazaar is considered a landmark of Istanbul.
You can find anything, but only some souvenirs will be cheaper in the city, in general, the Bazaar is not bad)

I'm visiting the Grand Bazaar. But I'm only putting 3. I'll explain why:
The prices are simply atomic, more expensive than in stores, and the quality and assortment are very mediocre. But the place is very colorful. It is worth visiting, but I do not recommend buying something. For example, the bags were much better, more beautiful and of better quality in a normal shopping mall than at the Grand Bazaar, and the price tag was almost 2 times lower. Draw conclusions

A colorful place, you can find something interesting, but you need to be prepared that they will call from every corner and persistently persuade you to buy something. The price tag can be safely knocked down several times, and even at the same time it will be possible to buy cheaper in local markets than here. There is a place to eat here, but it is better to ask for a menu with prices in advance in order to understand how much money you are willing to leave, otherwise you will not be very pleasantly surprised later. In general, an interesting place, you can find something unusual and try out local sweets along the way.

If you just go for a walk, then it's a must-have place! But not for purchases) The prices are aye-aye. The quality is so-so. But, you can bargain and you can catch a straight show. Unreal beauty of the ceilings, I was walking with my head up!

Among the advantages: atmospheric, beautiful, interesting
Of the minuses: everyone sells the same thing, but with a price difference of one and a half times (there is no variety of goods); at the sight of tourists, they try to deceive and cheat as much as possible for money; often overprice, when compared with other markets in Istanbul

A large selection of different products. Prices may be slightly lower than in Moscow. You can bargain. In general, Turkish exoticism. The sellers are friendly. It's worth a look for the exotic.

I was impressed by everything - from the bazaar itself, the abundance of the assortment of goods to the atmosphere, communication with wonderful, friendly sellers, we met some of them, exchanged contacts, we communicate. I liked the fact that there are several exchangers right on the territory of the bazaar-it is very convenient for buyers, and the exchange rate is much more profitable than, for example, on Issiklal or in the Taksim area.

There are many products, but they are all the same. The main disadvantage is that they look at you as a tourist like a bag of money and try to rip off three prices from you.
They took tea, the price was so bent that I was stunned when I saw the price of the same tea in Manavgat.
In general, I will say this: if you want to throw money away, you are here)

There are a lot of things, but it is very difficult to choose something for yourself. The prices are high, and the sellers themselves are very intrusive. It makes you want to escape from there. The only plus is very beautiful, atmospheric. Everything is bright in Turkish!!! The location, the very center, is of course convenient!

The building is interesting, the vaults and the paintings on them are unique. The prices of goods are inflated. There are a lot of things missing, especially large ones. To be like this once.

The bazaar... is more like a shopping city! A lot, a lot of things! You can just walk for hours and stare, bargain and take pictures! The best exchange rate. Look for exchangers in the golden quarter. Be careful, you can get lost)
