The Grand Bazaar (Bāzār e Bozorg) is an old historical bazaar in Tehran, Iran. It is split into several corridors over 10 kilometres in length, each specializing in different types of goods, and has several entrances, with Sabze-Meydan being the main entrance.
In addition to shops, the Grand Bazaar contains mosques, guest houses, and banks.
The bazaar grew as a "city within a city" for much of the 19th century, but there has been an open bazaar long before. (Wikipedia)
The Grand Bazaar in Istanbul is one of the largest and oldest covered markets in the world.
It was opened in 1461 which is just amazing, to think that people have been shopping here for over 500 hundred years.
The bazaar contains two bedestens (domed masonry structures built for storage and safe keeping), the first of which was constructed between 1455 and 1461 by the order of Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror. The bazaar was vastly enlarged in the 16th century, during the reign of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, and in 1894 underwent a major restoration following an earthquake.
You have to haggle hard to buy anything here which makes it quite tiring. I think they would sell more if they just had sensible price tags.
