The journey continues to the Grand Bazaar, with its 4500 shops, the magnificent Suleymaniye Mosque, considered the most beautiful of Istanbul’s imperial mosques, the magnificent Virgin Mary Monastery, and Eminönü, one of the most historic and lively neighborhoods, home to the famous "Spice Bazaar."
