Grand Bazaar, a place that now means more sightseeing than shopping, is a place that everyone who comes to Istanbul must check in. The maze of Grand Bazaars is always a lively scene no matter what time of day. Istanbul's Grand Bazaar is one of the largest and oldest in the world, with 26 exits alone, at least 58 indoor streets and more than 4,000 shops on a grand scale. Nevertheless, it is recommended not to travel alone for safety reasons.
