Grand Bazaar

Fodor's Review:

It's said that this early version of a shopping mall is the largest concentration of stores under one roof anywhere in the world, and that's easy to believe. Outside the western gate to the bazaar, through a doorway, is the Sahaflar Çarsisi, the Old Book Bazaar, where you can buy new editions as well as antique volumes in Turkish and other languages.
