[Grand Bazaar | The world's largest covered market! Istanbul's shopping labyrinth]

— Have fun while getting lost! A place where Turkish tradition and vitality intersect, where you won't get bored even if you spend a whole day there —

The Grand Bazaar (Kapalıçarşı) is a huge market with over 600 years of history in the old city of Istanbul, a covered shopping street with over 4,000 stores lined up like a maze.

If you're looking for "Turkish things" from traditional crafts to carpets, lamps, accessories, leather products, perfumes, gold products, sweets, and Turkish lamps, this is the place to come! ✨

Just walking around gives you a sense of exoticism, and you can experience something that seems timeless 🇹🇷
