Grand bazaar where they sell almost everything you might be looking for.

听了去过伊斯坦堡的朋友的建议，我和老公业参加了一日游。在黄金大市集里，见到玲珑满目的各式各样的店，感受到土耳其人的热情，也见识到他们的语言能力，几乎每个人都能说上几句中文，让人倍感亲切。

Me gustó y disfrutamos realmente todo durante nuestra excursión desde el principios.El autobús no era tan grande y ocupado, se llamaba minibús mayormente 15 personas, con aire acondicionado y cómodos asientos y profesional chofer y guía. el guia hablaba bastante bien el castellano…
Well worth the time and minimal cost to have a look at artifacts from ancient times. While a part of the museum was under renovation there was still plenty to see.
