Plac Taksim

Taksim Square is one of the most vibrant places in Istanbul. It serves as an entertainment and shopping center with over 200 stores and restaurants, where history meets modernity.

From the square, it's easy to get to the famous Istiklal Street - a pedestrian zone full of trendy boutiques, souvenirs, museums and cafes. Nearby is the majestic Galata Tower, dating back to 1348, offering breathtaking views of the Bosphorus.

The neighborhood impresses with its cultural diversity with visible Greek, European and Jewish influences, giving it a unique character compared to the Old City.
