Since the middle of the 15th century, this is the most famous bazaar in Istanbul and the shopping mecca par excellence. Here, on an area of as much as 20,000 square meters, up to half a million people are bustling every day.

The big, famous and notorious bazaar of Istanbul. Mostly so full that you are pushed on and on. An Eldorado for pickpockets, but also a treasure trove for everything and much more. Clothes, spices. Carpets and tasty food. Here you have to act, otherwise you will be ripped off. Always go below half the price. Never make your own price suggestion before, stay firm and go, then take it.
