That's exactly where there's nothing to do. It's not about history or oriental exoticism. The market is purely for tourists. The only historical thing in the Grand Bazaar is the building itself. You will definitely not experience any flavor of originality here. There is another market nearby - Arasta, it is much nicer and more comfortable there.
In general, if you have a desire to be nostalgic and plunge into the atmosphere of any Russian clothing market of the 90s, welcome.

A beautiful tourist place, a lot of people. The prices are overpriced, the product is beautifully laid out. If you go further, you will get to the shopping malls, where prices are lower and more willing to trade.

An interesting authentic place for a hiking trip! But in terms of food purchases: such as teas or dried fruits, be careful! Almost all products are infected with beetles or weevil larvae!!! Do you know who they are? Buy 100 grams of dried strawberries at the Grand Bazaar or at the Egyptian Market in Istanbul and you can study insects without leaving the cash register 🤓

It's not a clean place. But it is mandatory to visit. The merchants have the same thing, they couldn't find anything exclusive. But the atmosphere and of course the freshly squeezed juice for 70 lire is what you should go there for)!

A noisy place, with a monotonous assortment. The exchange rates are worse than on the main street of Istanbul. There are a lot of smokers and left-hand goods. I can't even recommend watching it. An ordinary market, nothing supernatural. The presentation of the bazaar was different.

The Grand Bazaar, this is exactly the Grand bazaar! It seems to me that it has no beginning and no end! They sell everything, sweets , teas, clothes, shoes, gold! The main thing is to find a way out! And be prepared for the fact that you will go out in a completely unfamiliar place!

OH, that's SOMETHING! To come to Istanbul and not visit the Grand Bazaar is a wedding without music. Moreover, there is no need to shop in the bazaar itself - everything is very expensive, purchases must be made on the outskirts of it, in wholesale street shops, but the bazaar itself must be visited in order to feel the arc of oriental trade.

This is a huge indoor market, you just need to get lost here, because it's just not possible to navigate where you are)) A large market continues around the covered part, where prices are lower than in the main part of the Grand Bazaar. As a place for a colorful walk, it's great.

The ancestor of all Cherkizons.
The crush. Uneven floor. Narrow slits.
All the shops have a lot of monotonous goods of unknown origin and quality.
THE MUSEUM OF THE CUNNING ART OF DECEPTION, THE ELEGANT SKILL OF SNIFFING, SELLING, CHEATING :))
It's worth going. An interesting phenomenon that has almost been forgotten among us. A peculiar architecture. But keep your wallets away. And most importantly, do not buy ANYTHING :))
By the way, there are a lot of shops around the bazaar with the same and even more diverse assortment, but there is no such crowd and the art of deception.
Advice to the organizers: turn on oriental background music, the dress code of the merchants, focus on historical uniqueness - and the people will participate in the performance, as it were.

I don't know if it's possible to come to Istanbul and not visit the Grand Bazaar. Of course, everyone's impressions may be different and it depends on what mood you went there with. I really liked it: the goods are of excellent quality - I wanted to buy everything from souvenirs to clothes and carpets), the sellers are polite and intelligent, they are happy to give in price), and the Bazaar itself is very atmospheric - a real Istanbul! I am glad that we visited it and took away purchases, impressions and photos as a souvenir!

Oh, how about without the Grand Bazaar! If you haven't visited, it means you haven't been to Istanbul. The main thing is to bargain to the last and not buy at the first stall. After walking around a bit, you can find the same thing for half the price.
