Istanbul’s most famous shopping emporium is the sprawling, tourist-centric Grand Bazaar, where souvenirs like carpets, T-shirts, and jewelry go on sale. More atmospheric is the Spice Bazaar, a colorful, aromatic drop-in for Turkish delicacies (spices, cheeses and desserts). Modern Istanbul also has numerous glitzy shopping malls selling everything from clothes to groceries.
