سوق الصفافير
One of the oldest markets in Baghdad, where coppersmiths have been hammering out trays, pots, and decorative items for centuries. The rhythmic sound of metalwork is audible from several streets away. A fascinating place to watch traditional craftsmen at work and pick up handmade souvenirs.
شارع المتنبي
Baghdad's historic booksellers' street, named after the 10th-century poet Al-Mutanabbi. Every Friday, the street hosts a bustling book market where vendors sell everything from rare Arabic manuscripts to secondhand novels. The nearby Shahbandar Café, one of Baghdad's oldest, is a popular stop. The street was badly damaged in a 2007 car bombing but has been fully rebuilt and remains the intellectual heart of the city.
