Grand Bazaar (or Kapalıçarşı in Turkish, meaning Covered Market) is one of the oldest shopping malls of the world. Built under the reign of Sultan Mehmed II, this vibrant marketplace has been the heart of trade in Istanbul for centuries. The bazaar was so important that it was guarded with soldiers. With its labyrinthine alleys, countless shops, and dazzling displays of jewelry, textiles, spices, and antiques, it offers an unforgettable experience for visitors. A true reflection of Istanbul’s commercial and cultural heritage, it remains a must-visit destination for travelers.
