Many international tourists have shared their opinions about this complex on Google Maps after visiting the Tabriz market and exploring it:
1. Nadide Avcı from Turkey
It is an incredibly large and multi-sector market, and although it is not well maintained, it is a place where you can spend a whole day with pleasure. It has ample living space with cafes, casual tea shops and large courtyards.
2. Yasin A. (YASİN A) from Türkiye
One of the oldest and largest markets in the world! We enjoyed wandering around. There is a possibility of getting lost in the market. Routing software will be your best friend. Don’t forget to haggle on the prices.
3. Jessica Ciofi from Italy
It’s a huge market where you can really find anything; From objects to food; From clothes to gold. There are also many glamorous caravanserais; But the best part is the part of the market of carpet sellers where weavers weave carpets in front of your eyes.
4. Claudio Quercioli from Italy
The first Iranian market I went to! Maybe I was the only tourist there; But I didn’t care; Because it was really an extraordinary place; Otherwise, it would not be part of the UNESCO heritage…
I enjoyed it early in the morning; With very few people and maybe this is exactly what attracted me; It was a great experience to see all those humble Iranians preparing their counters and waving to me as I passed. This market is beautiful and if you decide to come to Tabriz, don’t miss visiting it.
