İstanbul / Fatih · Bazaars and markets

Grand Bazaar

Historic covered streets bring together craftsmanship, shopping and architecture.

A closer look

The Grand Bazaar traces its origins to the fifteenth century and remains one of Istanbul’s historic trading centres. Its covered streets and shops combine everyday commerce with an architectural setting.

 

 Note the gate you use to enter. If shopping, compare prices and specifications in several shops. If simply exploring, choose a smaller area and look closely rather than trying to cover every passage.
