Thanks Diya!

Yes, the Grand Bazaar roads are smooth and perfect for a buggy. The spice bazaar may be too crowded, in my opinion. I don’t know about the mosques. Mosques require people to take off their shoes. Part of the Muslim prayers involve touching the head to the floor, so the floor needs to be clean. If the same logic is followed, them maybe a buggy would not be allowed. By buggy I assume we’re talking about kid strollers, not horse carts 🙂

It depends. The bazaar originally started as a place for the city’s craftsmen to work and the sections are still more or less distinct in trade. You can still see jewelry being made and cobblers at work. Some of the carpets are exquisite and definitely hand made. Although I suspect other things, like their t-shirts are factory made and maybe not even in Turkey…
