Huge, beautiful, bargains galore to be had so don't be scared or nervous, make sure you bargain hard, walk away if the seller doesn't knock money off as there will always be someone willing to accomodate what you can afford.
It huge place with lots of things. But they dont display price so mainly stuff are overpriced and be prepared to haggle hard . If u dont intent to purchase anything dont bother talking to the shopkeeper as they will try hard to sell you stuff.
لا تتوقع انك سوف تحصل على سلعة بسعر مقارب لقيمتها الحقيقية، الباعة يضاعفون اسعارهم مرتين و ثلاث مرات بينما في محال اخرى قريبة ستجدون نفس البضائع باسعار معقولة وقابلة ايضا للتفاوض ولكن بقيمة اقل بكثير من نصابين السوق المغطى او المسقوف
It's a must-see, just because there is nothing else quite like it! Hundreds upon hundreds of small shops. Beautiful old building. If you are looking for jewelry, scarves, leather goods, scarves or ceramics, this is the place! Maps are available and the different entrances are numbered. Pay attention as you wind your way through, so you don't get lost......
Give yourself enough time to really enjoy exploring the Bazaar, it's huge and if you try to rush, you may end up turned around and you'll find a different exit than the one you intended. Plus, you may miss out on some of the great things the Bazaar has to offer.
It's kind of a fun place if you love the flea market selling style on items you can also buy retail elsewhere.. Carpet dealers, cashmere, silk, jewelry, tea sets, and then more carpet dealers. Be prepared that most everybody there will start with a price 5-10 times higher than what is likely a fare price for both the buyer and the seller. If you don't like bargaining, just walk through it to experience the show of talent in multiple languages.
Grand Bazar is just for visiting not for shopping as costs are higher here. The funny thing is that everything is about negotiation in shops or on the streets. You will have a big surprise that the final price you are paying it is with 30% - 50% less. I.e. Turkish yoyo on the street is 5TL but if you offer 2.5 TL you're gone have it :) Good look.
Visit The Grand Bazaar in the evening, before closing to avoid the crowd. For the rest of sightseeing afternoon around 3-5 pm is the least crowded time.
A large number of retail stores near by Sultanahmet, Cemberlitas and Grand bazar selling genuine leather shoes, they are offering latest models and a large number of brands at very good prices.
One can experience the contrast of the 1001 night feel of the grand bazaar to the slick city state of the art shopping malls , and to an antique flea market in the French quarter . A unique city
Grand bazaar is amazing but good luck getting round without being hassled
The atmosphere. You can find most of these things in other places but not in market places with such heady atmosphere as in Istanbul. It is an experience to spend time in Grand Bazaar even if you buy nothing. Shopping areas in India, my country, are equally interesting but they tend to be dirty and full of traps like potholes and overflowing drains. Istanbul has the atmosphere without these problems. The place we liked most was Arasta Bazaar near the Blue Mosque.
“The room was very clean and large. Staff speaks english and russian. Grand Bazaar,Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia are the walking distance from the appartment. Mr. Emre was very helpful during our stay. There are restaurants and supermarkets near to appartment.”
“the room was large and very clean. Staff is friendly and speaks russian. very comfortable beds. only 10 min. from Sultanahmet and Grand Bazaar.”
“The location was excellent. Close proximity with major attractions (Hagia Sophia, Underground Cistern, Blue Mosque, Grand Bazaar), street cafes, restaurants and souvenir shops. Extremely pleasant helpful and responsive owner/staff, Mr Zafar made our stay excellent.”
“Extremely polite staff in particular Mr Serdem and his associates at the reception. In general all staff incuding the kitchen staff very helpful. Breakfast was very rich. Best location. Grand Bazaar and historic sight within walking distance. Best value for $.”
“The location of the hotel is excellent, walking distance to blue mosque, grand bazaar, restaurants, shopping stores and easy access to light train to go anywhere in Istanbul. The breakfast had a variety of food. The room was clean, comfortable bed, and shower system was very good.”
