Sightseeing

Message from Natasha Ibrahim

The Grand Bazaar in Istanbul is a massive covered market with over 4,000 shops spread across 61 streets. It's like the OG shopping mall, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors daily. Built in the mid-15th century, this place has seen its fair share of fires and earthquakes but still stands strong as one of the oldest and largest covered markets in the world. It's a bustling hub of activity where you can find everything from textiles to jewels, making it a must-visit spot for any shopping enthusiast or history buff.
