Bargain! Smaller than the Grand Bazaar , but still wide choices of products. Shops are extended up to outer of the bazaar. People are nice and helpful too.. even bought the copper water pipe here ????

Alia Alsharif

It called spice bazar contain all cheaper than Grand bazar and they do have lots of things to buy. But make sure when you buy see it before raping it for you

Dens

Find the almost-hidden staircase near the northern (?) entrance, sneak upstairs to the restaurant and catch a peek (and pic!) of the markte from above via the dining room window. Be speedy!

Burcu Yatmazoglu

An amazing gastronomic paradise since 1664, the Egyptian Spice Bazaar (located in Eminonu) is another favourite of the camera-wielding, souvenir-seeking tourist and also for Istanbul locals.

Burcu Yatmazoglu

Ok foodies now it's your turn! Famous Spice Market . You'll be amazed with the variety of colors, savory smells and tastes here! Don't miss to visit local charcuteries outside of the market .

Darcey W.

Generally best prices we found in the city for anything in the bazaar, especially silver and ceramic. Beats the pants off grand bazaar , cost-wise, and less hassling to go with it.

Haifa

It’s less crowded in the morning. Watch out for creeps, girls.

Majed Alashari

Nice bazaar with many spices & sweet shops. Price here is higher than the Grande Bazaar . There many streets around it which worth to explore.

Ali Alromaih

Haggling is must. You will get what you want for 70-80% less.

Jimmy Jimmie

sweet smelling cinnamon sticks , jasmine and other dried flower tea , vanilla , odd-looking dried vegetables , cheese and pickles to the pungent smell of assorted powdered spices. All sorts of sugar-coa.. Read more

HeyTripster

A popular stop in Eminönü is the Spice Bazaar, with its many fragrant spices, different kinds of Turkish delights , dried herbs, honey , nuts , dried fruits and even caviar . Read more

ᴡ Beller

If you leave the indoor part of the market and go right outside, by the water and Galata bridge , the vendors are more authentic and more than half the price

Ludovica Carosi

You should go there!! It is fantastic, fragrant and funny ! You can find every spice you could imagine here! And... You MUST try the teas ... They are magnificent!!

Merve D

Always crowded , always lively , always colourful . Sadly, goods are mostly touristic and low quality, so you must try and find the good vendors. For spices ???? Kalmaz Baharat , no: 41 on the left side ????

Nidal .

You will adore turkish tea , turkish coffee , turkish delights , spices and accesories. A great place to buy gifts and souvenirs of Istanbul.

Thanos Antonis. ????????????☕????

A covered market famous for its spices almost next to Yeni Camii. Take a walk to see all these colours and smells from spices and delights but rather not buy....it's a bit pricey .

PureWow

Located in the gigantic Grand Bazaar , the Spice Bazaar is a maze of pungent fragrances; colorful, foreign spices; and impassioned vendors. Read more

Meifen Kao

It worth to spend the time~go there to see the colorful culture and beautiful archive

Oliviu

If u enter the main gate u shoul go strait ahead, outside the bazaar, the right and u will arive to the genuine bazar..with spices, olived , cheese etc ar more decent prices

Oznur Gokhan

You can buy every kind of spice and special Turkish ornaments there.. Iconic place of Istanbul.

Mojdeh Zangeneh-amirchoupani

Very nice bazaar, we bought delight and Turkish tea , l love the spice bazaar????????????????????????????????????

manu prasad

Nowhere close to the Grand Bazaar in terms of size, but I think we get better Turkish Delight here. As always, bargain, though they say 'fixed prices' :)

Bogdan D.

Bustling market , spices are at their best, but many other things on offer; the air is filled with all kinds of flavours;

Arie Mulyahati

If you want to buy some souvenir, you should come here. The Egyptian Bazaar is a huge shopping complex. You can find different kind of spices, nuts , dried fruits , magnets, t-shirt etc..

mizz lin

Ask for some kebab spice mix so u can mix into minced lamb or beef meat and eat exactly like in Istanbul

Heba A

I love coming here for everything. Always remember, bargain until you are satisfied with the price ;)

Hien T

Be prepared to negotiate and be talked to by every salesman. Great place to buy tea , spice and souvenirs.

Navid NosratiNia

Perfect grand bazar in istanbul you can find very speciall things in here

Fathima Dada

Amazing Turkish delight and other delights. Dogu Bazari is the place to get the best.

Fatin Azman

Well ,here u can get all the spices at a very reasonable price,i won't say cheap unless u can bargain with them which is not easy. But this bazaar is smaller compared to grand bazar.

Danial Farahani

You should definitely visit here. It’s exquisite and lovely. But be ware the prices are usually rip off.

Balázs G.

Make sure to buy everything outside the basar, along the (north-)western side, where also the locals do their shopping. A must see.

Ulas Cingil

Kahvaltılık ve baharat alışverişi için alternatifi yok. For breakfast supplies and spice shopping there is no better alternative. Always bargain for prices.

Ahmad Alfilimbany

Great place for spices, delights, flowers , jewelry and everything else you heart desires.

IzApps

With colorful spices and turkish delights ,Mısır Çarşısı is one of the most interesting places in Istanbul, but not the only one!We invite you to Chora Museum for more of Istanbul. http://bit.ly/P3nsXi

Anke Nehrenberg

All sorts of spices. Just go there, close your eyes and enjoy the smell.

Hamoud AlDabbous

The perfect place to buy your spices and souvenirs. Negotiations are the key for good deals don't give up ????

Turkey Travel Centre

This place is good for a visit however if your time is limited, head to the grand bazaar instead. Bigger and better! Remember if you are looking for pure saffron , it is Iranian and not Turkish.

Meyvemix Juice

The Spice Bazaar Mısır Çarşısı is one of the largest bazaars in Istanbul. Located in the Eminönü quarter of the Fatih district, it is the second largest covered shopping complex after the Grand Bazaar

Jojo M

The best shop to get everything from spice bazar ,, highly recommended

AG✨????

The best halgoom "boğaz" and Spices you can find there

I am Legend

There are perfect quality of brand bags for cheap price go directly to shop no 47 in spice bazar ask for Saleh he is the owner

Hanan

A traditional market that sells spices, sweets, and other things. A must seen place for sure.

Abdulwahed Alromaih

Too crowded but the goods are really good. I would definitely recommend this place but be ready for a long rounds of price negotiations which you might end up having the product at half of the price.

Dana Kozhevnikova

Awesome atmosphere, but for a real shopping you should leave the bazaar and dive into narrow surrounding streets.

Burak Sansal

Lots of spices and Turkish delights in the historic bazaar

Réka Manon

L-shaped traditional bazaar, it is inspiring to see the colourful spices and inhale their smell. But rather buy them in supermarkets for half of the price.

Shannon Low

The street along the outside (tahmis caddesi) is more fun. Get Turkish coffee from kurukahveci.

Hany Youssef

Great old market , amazing deals on all spices

Javier Montaño

Bargain!!!! Try to bargain as much as you can! You have no idea of how much you can save... Beautiful place!
