The founding of the bazaar, the guild system and the trading traditions that continue to this day are explained street by street. It suits corporate teams interested in the [history](https://kurumsalgeziler.com/en/tour-categories/history-and-heritage-programmes) of trade, tradesmen culture and the everyday commercial life of Istanbul. ### What is in the programme? The core of the bazaar is the Cevahir Bedesten, built shortly after the conquest of [Istanbul](https://kurumsalgeziler.com/en/destinations/istanbul-corporate-trips) in the reign of Sultan Mehmed II. The Sandal Bedesten was later added to this masonry building where valuable goods were stored, and over time the streets between them were covered with domes and vaults to form today's bazaar. Repaired many times after fires and earthquakes, the bazaar still reflects its old order through streets named after the trades. The tour enters through the Nuruosmaniye Gate and continues with the Cevahir Bedesten, Kalpakçılar Street and the jewellers' section. It then moves on to trading hans such as the Zincirli Han on the edge of the bazaar and the Büyük Valide Han outside it, explaining how production and storage were linked to the bazaar. Optionally, a route down the Mahmutpaşa slope to the Spice Bazaar can be added. ### Highlights - A route starting at the Cevahir Bedesten that follows the bazaar's development chronologically - Commentary on the guild system, trade streets and the tradition of trust-based commerce - Hans that most visitors miss, such as the Zincirli Han and the Büyük Valide Han - A flexible finish, with time set aside for free shopping ### Who Is It For?
