Grand Bazaar

Exclusive tours conducted atop the newly restored roof of the Grand Bazaar, one of the largest and most ancient markets in the world, offer visitors a unique vantage point from which to behold Istanbul's multifaceted grandeur.

The historical Grand Bazaar opened its doors to visitors on June 1 as part of the country's normalization phase, having longed for its old crowded and busy days since being shuttered on March 24.

An eerie silence has fallen over Istanbul's Grand Bazaar, one of the world's oldest, largest and most visited markets, where a raucous mixture of languages, cultures and commerce has buzzed for centuries.
