Bursa Grand Bazaar (Kapalıçarşı & Bedesten)
Kapalıçarşı ve Bedesten
A covered market complex dating back to the 14th century, built around the historic bedesten. It sells silk scarves, towels, knives and sweets.
The Bursa Grand Bazaar grew up around the bedesten, built in the time of Bayezid I, and expanded into a network of covered streets connected to the Koza Han, Emir Han and other trading inns. It is a good place to buy local specialties: silk scarves, Turkish towels, handmade knives and chestnut candy (kestane şekeri). Most of the market is closed on Sundays. Keep an eye on your belongings in crowds, and bargaining is acceptable.
