Grand Bazaar (Kapalıçarşı)Beyazıt · One of the oldest covered markets in the world: vaulted streets of jewellers, carpet dealers, lamp and leather shops, with hans (old caravan courtyards) behind them. Go in by one gate and out by another, and drink a tea in a han.
Spice Bazaar (Mısır Çarşısı)Eminönü · The 17th-century L-shaped market at Eminönü, piled with spices, dried fruit, lokum and tea. The streets around it, full of cheese, olive and coffee sellers, are where locals actually shop.
Süleymaniye MosqueSüleymaniye · Sinan's masterpiece for Süleyman the Magnificent, crowning the third hill above the Golden Horn, with Süleyman's and Sinan's tombs in its grounds. The terrace behind the mosque has one of the finest free views in the city.
