## Direct answers
- Is the Grand Bazaar open every day? No. It closes on Sundays and public holidays. On other days it runs roughly 9am to 7pm.
- Do I have to haggle? In most shops, yes. Opening prices are high, particularly for carpets, jewellery and souvenirs near the entrances.
- Is it a tourist trap? It is very touristy on the main avenues, but the side lanes and the bedestens still serve local trade and wholesale buyers.
- How long should I spend? An hour or two is enough for most visitors. Serious carpet or jewellery shopping takes longer.
