Grand Bazaar (Kapalı Çarşı). Istanbul’s grand old bazaar with an estimated 4,400 shops lined along covered walkways. It is said to be the world’s oldest shopping mall, covers several blocks and features a labyrinth of side streets to keep you lost for the better part of a day. The shops are organized around their wares, e.g. the silver jewellers are clustered together, the carpet shops are clustered elsewhere and the shoe shops are bunched together somewhere else.
Parts of it now are modernized and rather touristy—most locals don’t shop here—and you are likely to pay up to twice as much as elsewhere. However, with the vast selection you will find what you’re looking for and it is one of Istanbul’s character piece
