As your guide brings its storied past to life, you’ll trace the evolution of this vibrant hub from an Ottoman trade center to the vast, maze-like marvel it is today. Winding through its bustling alleys, you’ll find yourself immersed in a living tapestry of tradition, where skilled artisans and craftsmen still practice age-old techniques passed down through generations. Step into hidden workshops and watch as delicate handiwork unfolds before your eyes—each piece a reflection of Istanbul’s enduring legacy of craft and culture.Zincirli Han

Today, they house a vibrant community of artisans, where coppersmiths, jewelers, and calligraphers still craft by hand, keeping Ottoman-era traditions alive amid the hum of the modern bazaar.Misir Carsisi (Spice Market)
