    Great for the experience. The locals will say not to spend too much money there (it's an overpriced tourist trap they say) but you might find some good souvenirs. But for the history and experience I recommend going. Note that if you need to use the bathroom in the bazaar, you will need 3 lira to go through the turnstile to get in. (Or you can be like my sister and with the help of the bathroom attendant hop the barrier. I paid 10 lira and told the attendant to keep the rest.) Nice cafes are outside of the bazaar- with no "fee" per se. I went in Feb- so not too crowded. Please hide your valuables (maybe money under your shirt)- I am told pickpockets are here.

    Adjacent to the Blue Mosque, the Arasta Bazaar is a small laidback bazaar. It’s basically one long corridor, with shops on either side selling a variety of Turkish products: spices, sweets, scarves, souvenirs, jewellery, rugs, etc. At either end, there are cafes/refreshment stops, with lanes leading off to various other shops and to the Blue Mosque.

    It doesn’t have the frenetic ambience of the Grand Bazaar, but, of course, it’s only a fraction of the size of the Grand Bazaar. Merchants are friendly, but not ‘high pressure’. Makes for a very relaxing experience.

    Zorlu Center is one of Istanbul's most prestigious shopping and lifestyle centers. The center offers luxury brands as well as restaurants, cafes, entertainment areas, and cultural events. The shopping mall stands out with its modern architecture and spacious interior. The events, concerts, and exhibitions held here also provide visitors with various experiences. Additionally, the Zorlu Performing Arts Center is known as a superior venue for theater, concerts, and other performing arts. All these features make Zorlu Center a significant attraction in Istanbul.

    A visit to Istanbul is incomplete without a visit to the Asian side. Kadikoy market is on the Asian side of the city. Kadikoy market is the place where the locals buy sweet, pickles, coffee, fish, olives and cheese.

    Visited the mall as a family for shopping and an informal dinner on the top floor. Great variety of shops and something for everyone.

    The first time I've heard of Mall Of Istanbul was probably when I was 12 years old and I can say that I was really curious to explore this place. Today was the day that I visited this massive shopping mall and I can say that I am impressed but not thoroughly. I went to the cinema to watch SAW 10 and it was really good but the popcorn prices are absolutely ridiculous. There is no option to get popcorn on its own. Rather, you can only get that along with coke and the prices are literally 100 lira. I don't know if that would be cheap for you but there is no way it would worth more than 70 lira for 2 cans of coke and a bucket of popcorn. After the cinema I went to a jacket potato restaurant and I had one jacket potato along with a can of coke. I paid 150 lira in total which I think was a bit expensive.
    There are tens of different brands to choose from which I think is really convenient as this caters to different budgets.
    When I went to the loo, I was absolutely disgusted by how horrible and obnoxious the toilets looked. They need to hire more people to keep the toilets clean because it looked like a cesspit. I don't even want to talk about the smell in there as I tried to hold by breath.
    All in all I would go back to that mall but they need to sort out the toilet issue.

    Wonderful mall with so many restaurant options. The istanbul aquarium is also in the same mall. We enjoyed a scrumptious lunch at Big Chefs restaurant. The place is overlooking the sea, great view, great service, great food.

    DO NOT GO INSIDE THE TUDOR STORE FOR MEN AT THIS MALL......

    I would give 5 stars however in the store Tudor {for men} I typically love the styles. I took my husband into the store where he tried on 1 button up style shirt which I loved that you wear a solid under shirt. he tried a medium size which was to small so he tried a large but they didn't have a large for the under shirt. At this time they advertised a 50% off sale. OK no... problem they almost talked me into buying the medium under shirt. when they rang up the 2 shirts !st of all IT WAS NOT priced at 50% off. still no problem but since the white under shirt was a little higher than I anticipated paying and it was to small knowing all the stores in this shopping mall I knew I could find one that I knew would fit correctly in a different store I asked the guy to take the white shirt off I'd find 1 that would fit better somewhere else very nicely, his response to me was "he tried on a bunch of clothes and now he doesn't want it?" extreme;y RUDELY. 1st of all he tried on the ONE undershirt and 2 pf the same button up shirts being 1st shirt was too small. so obviously he's going to try on a size larger. At this point I felt this store DOES NOT deserve my hard earned money but before I said forget it to this RUDE man I looked at my husband to see if he really wanted the button up shirt. When he answered naw to expensive I knew he wasn't happy about how the man spoke to me. SO i said FORGET IT. as we walked out THIS RUDE man continued to make comments to the other employees extremely loudly which almost made my husband turn around while outside to come back in and confront this rude guy. So if you like Tudor clothes and style like I do plan on going in there and don't bother them about trying on ANY clothes and deciding on not buying everything you brought to the counter unless you want the employees to be rude to you about your decision to put anything back if you change your mind. I WOULD NOT shop at Tudor at the Venezia Mall. But over all the prices in ALL the stores where very good and great choices for food and any shopping you have in mind.

    The mall seems small on the outside but is actually divided into outdoor and indoor areas. Lots of restaurants choices, a food court and some high end luxury brands as well. A good way to spend the day away.

    We had a wonderful time at les arts turcs, we took part in the traditional Turkish printing workshop, and it was by far the highlight of our trip to Istanbul, the master artist Mr fikret was phenomenal, he was such a kind, gentle soul with a real passion for his work. He helped us create a number of prints that we will proudly display in our home when we are back. I would highly recommend this to anyone travelling to Istanbul. You will not regret it!

    As a little bonus, his cat Charlie was the absolute cutest!
