İSTANBUL - GRAND BAZAAR

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE : AirVuz contributor and former DVOW Finalist uscarakkesfet brings us this magnificent drone video of the Grand Bazaar of Istanbul, one of the city's most well-known sites. Located in the Fatih District south of the Golden Horn, the Grand Bazaar is the world's largest covered market, with over 4,000 shops under its roof. It attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors per day, and by some measure it's the world's most popular tourist attraction. Considered the world's first shopping mall, it was built in the mid-16th century.

BADGES THIS VIDEO HAS EARNED:

Istanbul's Grand Bazaar (Kapalı Çarşı, or Covered Market; map) is Turkey's largest covered market offering excellent shopping: beautiful Turkish carpets, glazed tiles and pottery, copper and brassware, apparel made of leather, cotton and wool, meerschaum pipes, alabaster bookends and ashtrays, and all sorts of other things. Most guidebooks claim that it has 4000 shops. Because of cosolidation and replacement of shops by restaurants and other services the number is certainly lower, but you get the idea: it has lots of shops. Not all of them, by the way, are for tourists; locals shop here as well, lending a welcome dose of authenticity. .
