Taksim Square

Taksim Square is the vibrant heart of Istanbul that combines history and modernity. This iconic square, whose name means 'division' or 'distribution,' originally served as a water distribution point in the 19th century.

Visitors to the square can admire the 1928 Atatürk Monument and the modern Taksim Mosque, which opened in 2021. The adjacent Gezi Park offers a moment of respite from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Taksim is also a paradise for lovers of Turkish cuisine, shopping and nightlife. It is a place where you can feel the true pulse of the city and immerse yourself in its unique atmosphere.
