    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

    if 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.

    There 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!

    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).

    Just like any other commercial street anywhere else in the world. Unremarkable and unnecessary unless you're really keen on shopping in a busy street.

    Touristy, bland, crowded part of town lined with international shops and chain cafes. Branch off to Galata for a quieter, more pleasant jaunt.
