Osh Bazaar

Osh Bazar, Osh market is the most popular site to visit in Bishkek. The Bazar (or bazaar) is an original and authentic phenomenon for the Central Asian region. The bazar is not only a place of sale. This is a place for socialization and organization of local residents. And today, people are happy to come, bargain, communicate and find out the latest news in society.

There is a bazar in every village and city. “Bazar Kun” (Bazar Day) on Sunday as usual. Although in our time, the bazaar opens every day. The bazar was not previously divided according to interests. All sellers exhibited goods as they arrived or at certain same places that buyers knew. Such a bazar was called Jaima bazaar.

Now increasingly bazaars have become organized and divided into the food, clothing, and cattle (animal) market. Perhaps the most popular market in Bishkek is the Osh market.
