Seker Bayrami in Istanbul?

Question

Hi, I am from Taiwan and I am going to Turkey from 21st Sep to 30th Sep. I found out that I will be travelling during Ramadan. I am going to spend my last day, that is, 30th Sep, in Instanbul and do some sightseeing. But I found out that that day is the begining of Seker Bayrami. Will tourist spots like Blue Mosque and Grand Bazaar be closed that day? If it is so, I would have to reschedule my travel plan.

Does anybody know the details? Any advice or answer will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You should see Sultanahmet in Seker bayrami.

Answer 2

I would doubt national monuments would be closed on those days, but the bazaar may not be as active as usual.

try contacting them here(sultan ahmed mosque)

Answer 3

Blue Mosque will not be closed, because it is 'bayram' and people go to mosques in bayrams. but most museums and palaces must be closed. but i guess Grand Bazaar will be open but most shops will be closed.
