Tour Highlights

Grand Bazaar
Discover the Details

Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar is a must-visit destination for anyone travelling to the city. This historic marketplace, also known as the Kapalı Çarşı, has been in operation since 1461 and is considered one of the most exciting shopping experiences in Istanbul. Originally established by Sultan Mehmet the Conqueror to generate income for the upkeep of the Hagia Sophia, the Grand Bazaar was an important centre for trade during Ottoman times.

Today, the Grand Bazaar is home to over 3,000 individual shops and offers a wide range of goods, from antiques and jewellery to gold and affordable souvenirs. Visitors can easily spend hours wandering through the maze-like corridors of the bazaar, admiring the colourful displays and bargaining with vendors for unique souvenirs to take home.
In addition to the Grand Bazaar, visitors to Istanbul should also check out the Spice Bazaar, another vibrant marketplace that offers a wide range of exotic spices, teas, and other culinary delights. Together, these two bazaars provide a glimpse into Istanbul's rich history as a centre for trade and commerce and are not to be missed by anyone looking for a truly authentic shopping experience.

Egyptian Bazaar (Spice Bazaar)
Discover the Details

The Spice Bazaar, also known as Mısır Çarşısı or Egyptian Bazaar, is a one-of-a-kind destination that should not be missed when visiting Istanbul. Built in 1660, the bazaar's original purpose was to support the nearby New Mosque. Today, it is home to nearly 100 shops selling a variety of goods, including spices, dried fruits, and nuts. But that's not all - visitors can also find jewellery, souvenirs, and traditional Turkish sweets like the famous Turkish Delight.

The bazaar is a true sensory experience, with its vibrant colours, fragrant aromas, and bustling energy. It's easy to get swept away by the sights and sounds of the market, which is why it's considered one of the most essential and authentic experiences in Istanbul. Whether you're a foodie looking to sample local flavours or a souvenir hunter searching for the perfect gift, the Spice Bazaar has something for everyone. So be sure to add it to your itinerary when planning your trip to Istanbul!
