Bazaar in Bishkek

publicated: 22.11.2017



Osh Bazaar is one of Central Asia’s biggest markets dealing in everything from traditional hats and knives to seasonal fruit to horseshoes forged at the smithies in the bazaar. Many stalls are crafted from old container boxes and banal warehouse architecture but there's a fascinating bustle nonetheless, stretching for about 1km astride the river. Most dynamic on Sunday mornings, partly closed on Monday.

Marshrutka signs 'bazaar' usually imply the eastern entrance, also known as JaymaBazaar .
