Shopping & Bazaars in Çorum
The historic shopping axis of the centre: the Eğridere and Kuyumcular bazaars, souvenirs and local products, jewellery and clothing — where to find what.
Shopping in Çorum is largely concentrated in the city centre, in bazaars close to one another. Woven into the historic fabric, these streets put everything within walking distance — from jewellers and clothing shops to souvenir stalls and leblebi sellers.
🏛️ The Eğridere Bazaar
The Eğridere Bazaar is Çorum's best-known traditional shopping axis. In the centre, with its narrow, lively streets, it is the heart of the city's commercial life; clothing, footwear, souvenir and local-product shops line its surroundings. It is a natural stop on any visitor's tour of the centre.
💍 The Kuyumcular (Jewellers') Bazaar
The Kuyumcular Bazaar is, as its name suggests, the city's traditional gold and jewellery centre. It lies within the historic shopping axis around Eğridere and is the first stop for jewellery, gold and silver.
🎁 Souvenirs & local products
The first souvenir to take home from Çorum is, without doubt, Çorum leblebi — found fresh and in many varieties in the central bazaars. Local sweets and traditional copperware are also popular gifts. For the food side, see the Çorum Cuisine page.
👔 Clothing
The central bazaar axis has many clothing shops for every budget. For visitors looking for classic menswear or a suit, one long-standing address on Eğridere worth noting is Beyefendi: a shop specialising in premium menswear in Çorum since 2000, at Yeniyol Mah. Eğridere Sok. No:44.
