GRAND BAZAAR MAP

With 61 covered streets and over 3,000 shops selling everything from bracelets to lanterns, carpets to leather goods, the Grand Bazaar is not to be missed - if not for the shopping, then for the sheer spectacle of the venue itself. Either way you won't be disappointed. For those intent on picking up a souvenir or two, keep in mind that, in anticipation of a lower offer vendors often start the bidding quite high, so you might want to learn the basics of bargaining before attempting a purchase. Once you've completed the transaction try out the local fare at one of the many restaurants located inside the bazaar.
