In reply to Sheeba Anis. The Grand Bazaar is closed on religious holidays. It is closed every year, without exception, for 3 days during Eid al-Fitr and 4 days during Eid al-Adha.

In reply to R. Noel. Hello, unfortunately I have no information about the luggage storage facilities around the Grand Bazaar. However, if you search for "lockers in Istanbul" on Google, many results come up. I think you can entrust your shopping bags to one of these companies.

Hello! Do you know if there are resources near the Bazaar or at the airport for shipping purchases? We are flying through Istanbul at the beginning of a trip and won’t be able to carry our souvenirs with us. Thank you!

In reply to John. Dear John, yes I only do walking tours. Touring by car is not very efficient in the Old City. Because most of the streets in Sultanahmet (around Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque) are already closed to traffic.
