Before you go

Unlike the Grand Bazaar, the Spice Bazaar usually opens on Sundays too, though it closes on some religious holidays. Besides spices it sells Turkish delight, dried fruit, nuts and tea. The tiled Rüstem Paşa Mosque is a few minutes' walk behind it, and the Bosphorus ferries leave from the Eminönü piers in front.
