One area of Istanbul that is often overlooked by tourists is the Taksim Square as it is best known as the center of new and modern Istanbul. I really like three things you find in this general Taksim Square Area: First is the very nice Republic Monument which is in the center of the square; then I really like seeing the old and vintage trolleys or trams that shuttle along famous Istiklal Caddesi Street, which is a great pedestrian boulevard and finally I like the many small side streets off of Istiklal Caddesi Street as each narrow street has something of interest, as each has many small restaurants; bars; antique shops; etc. …

The most active district in Istanbul that never sleeps. When I visit Istanbul, I am always stay near by Taksim Square. as it is open 24 hours and when I finish my day trips I have verity of option to dinner or coffee.

Taksim Square is the heart of Istanbol. I have visited this place 12 - 16 Sep 2020 and in past I had there four times. There are lot of Hotels on Taksim saqure.

However solo travellers should be beware of hookers and pocket pickers.…

There are loads of hotels ,eateries and restaurants around, as well the beginning of the famous shopping Istiklal St.…
