In fact, the bazaar in Tabriz is one large quarter of the city with the roof above the streets. When one walks through this spectacular city within the city and feels the atmosphere of the place time stops. It's very easy to get lost in the streets of the bazaar. It's divided into a few sections. In one you can buy practical goods like pans and pots, while in the other it is possible to admire beautiful handmade carpets. There's one special street I liked very much. It was the street with gold and silver. It is dark, but full of people and red lights all around the vitrins. Sometimes I was very curious why Iranians love silver much more than gold, but after that I recognized that silver shines on their brown skin much more nicely than gold.
