City: Grand Bazaar
Top Things to do in Grand Bazaar
Top 10 Things to do in Grand Bazaar, Turkey
The mosques, bazaars, and Turkish baths of Istanbul could keep you happily occupied for your entire trip: an eyeful of breathtaking architecture here, a good-natured haggle over a carpet there. Kick your trip off at the awe-inspiring Sultan Ahmet Camii (Blue Mosque), which is visible from many points of the city. Stroll the Galata Bridge and stop by the Miniaturk Park to see its tiny artifacts. The Grand Bazaar has thousands of shops to browse, while the Egyptian Bazaar is a fragrant trove of spices and fruits.

This mosque was positioned on a hill overlooking the harbor at Eminonu. Today, the local pigeons make their home in its graceful domes and arches.

Famed architect Sinan built this majestic structure for one of the greatest rulers of the Ottoman Empire. Although this mosque is less ornate, there are many similarities between it and the Hagia Sophia since the same architect was responsible for both.

This amazing place near the Grand Bazaar is the oldest shisha place in Istanbul and I would recommend you to visit it if you want to have a different and authenic experience. They make really good shishas with smooth smoke and the guy is carrying around the tray with Turkish teas (apple is my favourite)... They have different rooms in the courtyard, but I think the offer is pretty much the same. Stop by if you are in the area!

Every time we went through this area, it was always vibrant, busy and bustling. From being a transport hub with buses, trams, boats and ferries to being the entrance to the spice market, the Sultan Ahmet tourist area, the Golden Horn and over the Galata bridge to the Beyoglu/Taksim area, its also a great place to sit in a café and have Turkish tea and pastry and watch the traffic, both foot and water go by. Its so cosmopolitan, so vibrant, I loved it. Even if you just go through it, take it in as its an amazing area.

It is a valuable museum of Is Bankasi , the first national bank of our country, which was opened by the order of Atatürk , located between Eminönü and Sirkeci in Istanbul, behind the Yeni Mosque. This museum, which contains important works and information, can be visited for free. Documents related to this bank, which witnessed the economic development of our country, various equipment, old advertisements, communication devices, photographs and many more special things can be seen in the museum. You can visit the case rooms on the bottom floor; You can walk in a dark tunnel while the numbers are spinning around you, and you can experiment with a machine that shows the authenticity of the money in your pocket. The building was built in 1897 and it was opened as a museum on November 14, 2007. I recommend you to visit.
