Despite the advent of modern shopping centers, traditional bazaars are even the basic pillars of the economy of many cities. However, not only does the Tehran Grand Bazaar play a key role in supplying the capital’s goods, but also plays a key role in the exchange of goods throughout the country.
The fundamental core of the formation of “Tehran Grand Bazaar” goes back to the Safavid era, but the Qajar kings played a key role in the development and importance of this Bazaar. Tehran Grand Bazaar is large. If you want to see it all, you have to walk its streets for days and days but to understand the feeling of this different atmosphere, you can only visit its landmarks. The attractive atmosphere of the Bazaar starts outside of it; 15 Khordad Street towards the bazaar is paved and no cars enter this area; But this area has its own specific vehicles; The long red train, as well as several carriages with their agile horses and their special sound, are there for transporting passengers who want to get to the entrance of the Bazaar sooner and have fun.
For the time being, Tehran Grand Bazaar has a unique and complicated architecture. Eye-catching arches, labyrinthine corridors, and traditional air-conditioning systems have added to its beauty. There are also some old and new places for entertainment. Some examples are traditional teahouses, Zoor Khaneh (Traditional Persian Gymnasium), public bathrooms, mosques, and some other religious monuments. After a while, there emerged various particular regions called “Bazaarcheh” or small bazaars for each commodity; for instance, a particular area designated for gold, or for beauty products and so on.
