threr is a lot to find out in this area. art galleries music shops. bookstores, street musicians, restaurants, gift shops. my favorite part of it is toward the end of istiklal street which is called tünel (means tunnel).

Took the train from Sirkeci to this neighborhood on my last day in Istanbul. Loved the neighborhood, loved the shops and many restaurants, bars, ice cream shops. I had the best kebabs here at Drumzade.

During the day it's boring- the main street is all western stores like gap, Starbucks, and Mavi. At night however it turns into a lit up carnival of people of all stripes, street vendors, cool bars and restaurants.

Beyoglu, one of Istanbul's most fashionable areas,bustling commercial heart, impressive diversity this is a fashion street Istiklal Street - with trams running down from medieval time at the right diversion from burger king,filled with energetic youth ,wine and dine on both sides of street ,if lucky u may get happy hours during late noon,must grab the kababs .to get here...

The main shopping street is in this area.Here you can find finest cafes and best shops of Turkey .It is along street with many shops on both sides.Best shopping center in my opinion.

If you love a walk and watching the world go by then take a trip here. It is packed with restaurants and bars and there are many places to shop. Fab if you like to photograph people and places. It can get very busy so be prepare for the crowds.
