One of the largest and oldest covered markets in the world, the Grand Bazaar consists of more than 58 covered street stalls and 4,000 shops. Opened in 1461, it quickly became well-known in Istanbul for its jewellery, pottery, spice, and carpet shops. For all kinds of people travelling through Europe, train holidays or not, it's an amazing place to visit and begin appreciating the Turkish culture - as well as being a wonderful location to find a bargain and a souvenir or two before continuing your journey.
