Definetly visit Takkeciler street #97. They have great souvenirs and trustable staff.
Kerem TolanSeptember 17, 2013The heart of Istanbul ... Becareful with the prices ... Always bargain ... Must see & must visit
Ahn BustamanteSeptember 28, 2014Great if you know what you want and you stick with a list. The shop owners can be persuasive.
Boris VasechkoNovember 22, 2017Haggle, haggle and haggle again. Remember, in the end it's just a game.
Ozan KahramanJanuary 19, 2016If a seller says a price for anything, you can buy it on half if you make a good negotiation 😊, use it
Simon QuintonMarch 5, 2013Haggle, haggle & haggle! Also do shop around there as often the stalls nearer the entrance/exit were cheaper actually.
istanbulJanuary 27, 2011Any shopping lover will appreciate bargaining at the Grand Bazaar. With over 5,000 vendors, this shopping extravaganza is a great way to shop for Turkish treasures
Burak SARIOGLUJune 18, 2014If you want buy leather jacket you should go Koç Leather .best leather place in G.Bazaar.
Zeynep GeciogluApril 11, 2014Kuyumcu Sabahattin Gümüş'e mutlaka ugramalisiniz birbirinden farklı hepsi el işi takılar kesfedeceksiniz... You need to step in and discover these handcrafts. So beautiful... no:165
Nikos BFebruary 27, 2019Be aware of overpriced pistachio/nuts/baklava vendors! Do your research! Never pay more than 40$/kg for any sort of food!
Emre ErtanNovember 14, 2013Would you like to buy a luxurious shawl made of mohair special to Turkey? Visit Mohair&Angora Kiosk at Abdulla and Decorin Stores.
Σία Κ 🍭September 22, 2015Very crowded, very noisy, and very wide. You can find anything (mostly souvenirs and things that you probably don't need) and you have to negotiate the prices before you decide to buy anything.
Abdulaziz AlsayedSeptember 16, 2016If you're here to buy, then make sure you buy non duplicates and bargain as long as you can.
chrysalicDecember 10, 2011It\'s cheap if you can bargain, and bargain hard! Most stuff are made in China, but look thoroughly for authentic Turkish stuff :)
I reccomend Üsküp Paşhmina at sipahi street no:17 for pashmina scarf and cashmire shopping. Fair prices and great salesmans
Hani AlawadhiFebruary 26, 2015You have to spend hours here or maybe days and always bargain bargain and bargain.- A. J.October 5, 2015Don't buy from the bazaar, the prices are double everywhere else. It's a good place to enjoy although.
Chris ArtusoSeptember 4, 2014Prices may be high but the shop owners speak English and there's a great selection.
Burak K.June 4, 2016All the design products, and nearly everything you would like to buy as a souvenier
Cik SadoOctober 29, 2015Place u can find a lots of Souvenirs.. Cara terbaek tuk sakitkan hati sendri.. Rindu turkey 😭 sgt..
Gian MoriFebruary 24, 2015Big discounts now at the Gian Mori store. To get your discounts ask for the manager mr Shain
Walker WieseMay 19, 2012When bargaining for prices, stat lower than you think would be accepted. They won't turn you away and it gives you the immediate upper hand. Have small bills on hand for small increment haggling.
Soraya A.DarwishNovember 5, 2012You can find everything here: clothes, spices, tea, bags, tazers and mace, souvenirs, etc.
Ali AlromaihMarch 4, 2016Go for a look. You are very likely to be ripped off as a tourist. Haggle a lot. Shop around.
ÖzgürSeptember 15, 2014Highly touristic but still it's one of the places that makes Istanbul the city of wonders.

It's the grand bazaar of Istanbul, from jewellery to garments, bags, accessories. You name it
EdaJanuary 8, 2018I think there’s nothing to sat for that place, it cannot be told but lived; the smell, the colors, the people, the taste, the voices... It’s a carnaval for your each sense...
Nicholas ThompsonDecember 1, 2015A bit overrated. Get there early to avoid the crowds. Most of the stuff you find you'll find elsewhere in Istanbul.
Seline JungMarch 20, 2015Don't even think about coming here without researching about and practicing your haggling and market social skills!!!
Hännelore ChavierOctober 4, 2016Nothing is good here, fridge magnets next to Basilica cistern where 1 L,big one 7 L,at the bazar same one was 15 and no time or energy for bargain, it doesn't worth the trip,not recommended overpriced
Damla YarisJuly 16, 2018Please get lost here and find back the historical beauty instead of yourself.
