Navigating Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar – how to find your way around the labyrinth Learn more

While it is undoubtedly one of the historical landmarks in the city, and a must-visit for any tourist who wants to be able to brag about having seen the essence of the Old City, the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul can be overwhelming for many. The winding, labyrinthine structure, featuring shops upon shops of exotic items, and filled to the brim with locals, shop keepers, and tourists, can be difficult to navigate and you just might find yourself walking back out after taking a few tentative steps in.
The main thing that makes tourists feel apprehensive in regards to the Grand Bazaar is the fear of the unknown. At first glance the bazaar seems chaotic, and it’s difficult to make sense of it or understand which direction to head in – since the time when it was established as a small masonry by Mehmet the Conqueror back in 1455, the Grand Bazaar has expanded a great deal and is now a vast, sprawling structure with over 3,000 shops which attract 250,000 to 400,000 visitors on a daily basis.
I am not unfamiliar with the hesitation that a tourist might feel upon stepping into the bazaar for the first time, but having lived in Turkey for a number of years, I was able to explore the Grand Bazaar at my leisure, and it gradually became one of my most frequented haunts. My guide for visiting the Grand Bazaar offers a complete package, detailing all the different methods of transport you can use to reach the bazaar, including details regarding 5 of the 21 gates into the Grand Bazaar that are more frequently used than others. In addition, I also discuss the best timings for visiting the Grand Bazaar, and provide you a rough idea of the way the place is organized, so you have no trouble navigating, and easily locate what you need.
