Ali AlromaihMarch 4, 2016Great. But beware of tourist traps on inner streets. ALWAYS STAY ON THE MAIN STREET.
Murad GürmeriçMarch 15, 2015The one and only...something for everyone. My Saudi friends; make use of the exchange rate advantage these days
Arie MulyahatiAugust 5, 2020Missing the busy street, the red tram, the beautiful cafe along Istiklal Avenue ♥️
One of the world's great pedestrianised streets. Take a ride on the beautiful, historical trams.
James ZimenoffSeptember 29, 2014Amazing venue for people watching, cafés, and history. Don't come if you're in a time crunch, however. The crowds can move quite slowly.
You can shop till 10 pm as grand bazar close by 5 pm. They do have very nice things to buy their
mizz linJune 8, 2015Always filled with a sea of people from both directions ! Ride the red tram . Take a photo with it !
Kitsos MitsosJanuary 3, 2013When you finish walking up and down the road, try the narrow and parallel streets. You may find interesting cafes and restaurants.
Mark J.February 20, 2015Fabulous neighborhood and walking street that is lively at all hours of the day and night.
Bianca BuenoAugust 11, 2014Walk at least once on this street during the night: crowded for sure, but the lights create a beautiful atmosphere.
SanLazzaro-TrattoriaJuly 23, 2012There are various styles in Pizzas making. We like it in Roman style: Thin and crispy :) If you too then come on; we're at Cihangir!
One of the most popular places in Istanbul. Plenty of shops and cafes. Is very popular among tourists
Never think that you been in Istanbul if didn't visit here, eat any meal, Turkish delights and coffee. Of course you should have a selfy too
Walk into any dark and suspicious alley off the Istiklal and have the best kebap in your life (or the worst one if you are not lucky).
The street so crowded, cafes there creepy, street full of big pockets, cafes close from Galata tower more better.
You can see hundreds of people from all over the world here. Always lively and crowded! 🌍
Anna Lee 🦄May 3, 2013if you want to experience walking on almost empty Istiklal street - come here on Sunday evening. surprisingly empty and calm. but not all places (like bufe or koska) work these hours.
Henry WuMay 26, 2013Great area on weekend nights. Full of locals and young ppl. Watch out for the 'lets have a drink' scam.
It need to explore. Each corner day and night. One word...lovly. İstanbul spirit.
Ksenia RomanovaMarch 24, 2012Lots of people all the time going both ways (up & down the street): both amazing and tiresome. But it does give you a flavour of the city.- Istiklal Avenue, is one of the most famous avenues in Istanbul, Turkey.
Mohammed AbdiNovember 24, 2015Amazing the people and the stores and restaurants I mean everything is Amazing
HarryJune 24, 2015Probably one of most lively shopping streets. Simply entertaining to walk all way down.
Avi .March 17, 2014One of the high end shopping district of Istanbul - you get all your major brands here.
Curtis ShoungSeptember 14, 2015Crazy crowded street with bars and restaurants in the alleys. Fun night out.
With no doubt must see (and feel) in Istanbul. No matter that millions are passing by, it's so clean!
Şeyda Can KarslıFebruary 26, 2015Here is Istanbul. You can see views of turkish person, history, life....- Hot spot with so many streets attractions and delights!
ağzına sictiniz güzelim İstiklal İ, Mısır apartmanını pic ettiniz, Arabistan'a dondu hayatim yikildi basıma
ÖzgürSeptember 29, 2014So upsetting to see the street loosing its charm and soul by corruption of individuals and organisations.- Dr. Maşuk Cahit UysalJuly 11, 2021For Tram photo go to Tunel station wich is close to Galata tower. Tram vaites 10 minutes
Maria VoroninaFebruary 2, 2015Obviously the most popular place to hang out in the city, very lively and crowded.
Lolita LolikoMay 29, 2014very nice street! too crowded, noisy , full of turists . but for girls not safe at night i have gone through it unfortunetly!
One of the most famous streets..... buzzing night and day..... a must for any visitor to Istanbul
This place is almost always swarming :p. Very lively area, however, if you're going to do any shopping better go elsewhere for lower and 'less-touristy' prices especially for souvenirs
One of the most important landmarks of Istanbul.It gets too crowded though.
Erica ManssourMarch 17, 2014Just like any other commercial street anywhere else in the world. Unremarkable and unnecessary unless you're really keen on shopping in a busy street.
Seline JungMarch 20, 2015Touristy, bland, crowded part of town lined with international shops and chain cafes. Branch off to Galata for a quieter, more pleasant jaunt.
Walk like you are at home. İgnore the crowd. Then you Will understand.
