One of the very vibrate streets of the city. It is amazing to see how many people walk there, great shops and restaurants. This is a great place to understand that you are in a 17million people city.

One of the best tours you can make in the city. Plenty of people, stores, faces and tourists. To access the street you have to climb a mountain... but instead of taking the funicular, it's worth walking. If you came from Taksim Square, it would be interesting to walk through the whole street and climb the tower at the end.... More

Full of cafes and clubs and pubs, various types of stores and mini restaurants. The street connects Taksim square to Galata tower. Cafes and pubs closed 5/6 am. Therefore the huge number of tourists in the street all the day long, the street keeps clean till morning hours. Safe and crowded y, many police stations in the street so do... More

It is worth checking out to get a feel for the culture of the city and has the name brand international stores as well as local shops. Restaurants in this area are nicer on... More

One of the must visit places in Istanbul. Go there, feel yourself a little bit of a bourgeois. A 3 km street with a millions of shops, cafes, theaters, movies. XIX century architecture and a small wooden vagonette shuttle which goes back and forth along the street would make you feel back to the beginning of the previous century.

Come here during the day for cafes, nargile, and shopping. Come here at night for bars, restaurants, entertainment, and music. For those who like to experience the ambiance of a city, this is where you should go. People line this street day and night, and the nighttime scene is really the most fun I had last time I visited Turkey.... More

We've visited Istiklal caddesi this time as usual. Of course, the street is loved by both tourists and locals. They enjoy shops, cafes, restaurants etc., but they also witness the social life here like musicians, dancers, meetings, demonstrations. But sometimes it's really getting a bit dangerous. About one shop I definitely must note is Haci Bekir oriental sweets& candies shop... More
