What to do and see in Grand Bazaar, Turkey: The Best Museums

July 3, 2021 Layne Dawes

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.

Isbank Museum

Reviewed By inflexible85 - Canakkale, Turkey

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.

Can not recommend this shop enough. I've visited Grand Bazaar countless amount of times and can confidently say that this shop has the best quality goods and service in Istanbul. Everything in that store is beautiful. Thank you to everyone working there. The guys are not only the kindest people, but the most genuine sellers you'll meet in that Bazaar. Highly highly recommended ????
