Second stop in Türkiye, Istanbul Grand Bazaar.

📍Attraction address: The Grand Bazaar is located in the Fatih district of Istanbul, Turkey, between the two mosques Beyazıt and Nuruosmaniye. The specific address is Beyazıt Mah., Kalpakçılar Cd. No:22, 34126 Fatih/Istanbul. I personally feel that the Grand Bazaar does not actually belong to a specific street, but to an area. 🚗Transportation to attractions: 【One】Tram: Take the blue T1 line and get off at Beyazıt-Kapalı Çarşı station, which is within walking distance. 【Two】Subway: You can take the subway to Vezneciler Station, which is within walking distance from the station. [Three] You can only walk inside the Grand Bazaar. The streets are crisscrossed like a maze. It will definitely take some time to find the specific location. It is recommended to walk along the main streets, such as Hatter Street, etc., and consider branch lines according to time. [Four] Self-driving parking: The Grand Bazaar is located in the old city. The surrounding roads are narrow and parking spaces are tight. There are some open-air parking lots and underground parking lots nearby, but it's hard to find one during the peak tourist season. Therefore, it is recommended not to drive there by yourself. 👍️Must visit attractions: [One] has a unique architectural style, with gorgeous arched domes, exquisite Islamic pattern decorations, etc. You can take photos at the entrance, internal streets, and in front of some specialty shops to record this exotic scene. [Two] Taste local delicacies: There are many stalls and shops selling Turkish specialties in the Grand Bazaar, such as Turkish delight, nuts, coffee, black tea, etc. You can take photos and record them while tasting the delicacies. 【Three】Buy specialty products: Choose some products with Turkish characteristics, such as handmade carpets, tapestries, jewelry, spices, etc. [Four] Inner Market: This is the oldest area of ​​the Grand Bazaar. Most antique shops are concentrated here, where you can admire and buy items of historical value. [Five] Silk Market Street: You can see all kinds of exquisite silk products. Turkey’s silk culture and traditional craftsmanship are very good. [Six] Jewelry store concentration area: Hatter Street is now dominated by jewelry stores.

Its core building, the "cevâhir bedesten" (jewelry market), is located near the Sultan's palace and was built to stimulate Istanbul's economic prosperity. During the Ottoman Empire, jewelry and precious hand-woven textiles came from all over the country to be sold at the Grand Bazaar.
