【トルコ/イスタンブール】グランドバザールからガラタ橋までの街歩き 2025年12月 #travel #istanbul

Istanbul’s Egyptian Bazaar is a historic market filled with the aromas of spices and dried goods. At midday in December, daylight filters through gaps in the arched ceiling, making the stone floor and colorful signs stand out. At the stalls, saffron, chili peppers, dried fruits, and nuts are piled high, while weighing bowls and brass tools are neatly arranged. Vendors’ calls blend with the rustle of paper bags, and shelves of sweets catch the eye. Cats appear in the shadows of columns and at the edges of shops, quietly lingering between the flow of people. The Egyptian Bazaar offers a dense shopping experience even in a short visit and remains a classic stop for sightseeing in Istanbul.
