Istanbul's Grand Bazaar (Kapalıçarşı in Turkish) is one of the world's greatest shopping destinations and, spanning 30,700 square meters, the largest covered market in the entire world.
Once inside, the 64 streets and smaller lanes are home to around 4,000 shops, as well as the bazaar's own mosque, post office, restaurants, banks, and police station, making it a central city in miniature.
The bazaar began its life in 1461 and steadily expanded, swallowing up surrounding ground over the centuries of Ottoman rule.
A visit here is not simply about shopping for souvenirs. With its grand arcaded main streets and narrow alleys leading between hans (old trader inns) and bedestens (market halls), it is one of the best places to visit in Istanbul to get a sense of Ottoman life.
