Istanbul on Sunday
 
I will be in Istanbul on a Sunday. I can't remember what is open and what is closed.
Does someone know?
Thanks

Errrr...well, Turkey is not a Christian country. I do not believe that they set "Sunday" aside as a special day.

Otherwise, I don't remember anything being closed on the Sundays when I was there (??)

Someone correct me if I am wrong.

City is wide open on Sunday...try the fabulous Ortakoy Fair, just up the street from the handsome Cirigan Palace Hotel...

Grand Bazaar and Spice market are open as will be most everything else except many business offices and Banks on Sunday.
