Beyoglu<br />
A<br />
large district districted famed<br />
for its cosmopolitan vibe, night<br />
life, architecture, restaurants, chic<br />
apartments, and of course Istiklal<br />
Avenue.<br />
Why Visit?<br />
The main reason to visit Beyoglu is<br />
to take in the city, enjoy the boutique<br />
shops, edgy bars, hipster coffee<br />
shops, and the beautiful centuries<br />
old architecture. Even the two<br />
most iconic attractions the Galata<br />
tower and Taksim square, serve this<br />
purpose.<br />
The Galata towers has a restaurant<br />
and café operating on the upper<br />
floors, that also serve as a night<br />
club. Taksim Square, Istanbul’s<br />
answer to Times Square in New York,<br />
is renowned as a point of leisure<br />
offering great shopping, places to<br />
eat, bars and clubs.<br />
Istiklal Avenue is a long<br />
pedestrianised street and the centre<br />
of shopping in the city. Here you’ll<br />
find plenty of big brand outlets and<br />
small boutiques. The avenue alone<br />
isn’t the only place to shop and there<br />
are plenty of streets leading off it<br />
that are worth exploring.<br />
For a night out check out the Asmali<br />
Mescit district located south-east<br />
of Istiklal avenue. The area boasts<br />
several bars, clubs, and taverns, all<br />
bustling almost every night of the<br />
week.<br />
