I absolutely do not advise tourists to visit, except for those who came to buy gold for their whole family, including the dog. Purely as an attraction and to look at the local color in all its "glory" will do. If you are thinking of buying something to eat for your family, then this is only the Egyptian market

One of the most striking street attractions in Istanbul. In order to feel it (Istanbul), it is necessary to immerse yourself in such places
A very colorful place! Prices are higher than in the Egyptian market, which is within walking distance from the Grand Bazaar. But it is necessary to go on an excursion!
An enchanting and picturesque place.
It will take time to get around everything.
It will take time to find something. And you will find it if you try.
The historical place is a must-visit for all tourists, not only to find something there, but just to feel the flavor and taste of this place.
Everyone should visit the grand bazaar to grab a little history and try to be an accomplice in the world trade in high-quality fakes, did not buy anything there, went out of curiosity as on an excursion, liked that the sellers are not intrusive
A real oriental bazaar. The price tag is heavy, but you can bargain for a very good price. There are excellent replicas for everyone's taste.
You can even spend the whole day just walking.
The landmark of Istanbul, which we did not appreciate due to the widespread smoking of all merchants, entered the market in the west and very quickly left on the eastern side. Some intrusive merchants are trying to sell leather jackets that were made for us back in the 90s. It's good that we didn't take an excursion where the markets of Istanbul were the place to visit.
A city within a city, a large, atmospheric market, I walked with pleasure

A legendary place, what to say. I am surprised every time how everything is arranged there and how they work there - there are very small departments and shops
The place is interesting, atmospheric. But in fact, it's still an ordinary market, where the same goods are on every counter. I don't want to be in this place for a long time. But there you can change money at a favorable rate
To walk around, take a look and buy something from oriental sweets or accessories is just the thing. The price tag is high for everything, you need to understand this. I recommend it as a place to visit.
To go and see-yes, but it's better to buy in other places, the price is very high, even the locals talk about it. But due to the fact that they were for the first time, they did not know about it
it's a very strange place. a lot of low-quality goods, fakes for an incredible price tag. as such, the historicity of crumbs.
sellers smoke, eat right in the shopping alleys. the feeling that they want to deceive you everywhere does not leave you for a second
We walked up from the Bosphorus, hard, like all bazaars in Turkey. You can get around in half a day.

If you don't know how to bargain, then it's better not to buy ANYTHING here. There are no prices, so the probability that you will be deceived or called a tenfold price, and then you will trade off half is close to 100%))
A large tourist complex designed for an expensive guest, a price tag for all space! Beautiful showcases, expensive goods, a lot of gold products! Sellers smoke without leaving their counters! There are a lot of people and noise!
A very huge indoor bazaar in Istanbul. Prices for tourists are too high!!! We need to bargain. Or it is better to go further where it will be cheaper by 100-300 liras.
Cherkizovsky market of zero. The Turks call it a landmark. It is not entirely clear what a tourist can see there. Local buyers are rare. They mainly sell jewelry and clothing. Tourists definitely have nothing to do
The place is undoubtedly historical, beautiful, but the markets and trading in the market and the sellers themselves are a separate kind of art) which I do not understand a little)
Crowds of people. Traditionally, quite intrusive sellers and very inflated prices. You can visit once for an introductory purpose, to see the historical heritage. It is absolutely not worth buying anything, there are enough places in the city with the same product at adequate prices
A place for brave and unassuming tourists. Well, very much for an amateur.
Very annoying sellers, kilometers of gold and Carpets at fabulous prices. Difficult navigation - it's easy to get lost. I found this place very oppressive. If you need souvenirs, in my opinion it is better to choose places of more modest size.
As if he had not left Russia, they also cheat like in our market. Prices are inflated 5 times as soon as they hear the Russian language. Only to bargain in no other way. And keep your hand on your bag or pocket at all times, believe me, the advice is very valuable. Good luck to everyone.
For those who like noise, an endless stream of people and touts. In whatever languages they try to attract you to come to their store. And there are more than 500 shops here.
The main thing is not to take a lot of money with you, otherwise you will spend everything, without options. Among dozens of shops with an identical assortment, you will definitely come across something special that you will definitely want to buy. There are even musical instruments here.
