About this experience
Istanbul is not just the Old City, mosques, and bustling Eastern markets. I invite you to explore the modern center and the elite residential district of Nisantasi! You will visit stores of top world brands, ride a cable car, and see the famous retro tram. And I will tell you about the past and present of the city and make sure our stroll is fun and comfortable.
What to Expect
Nisantasi: stores, restaurants, and the spirit of Europe
You will walk through the elite district of Nisantasi with trendy boutiques, modern-style architecture, and luxurious restaurants. Optionally, you can shop and taste local hot wine. There are no religious buildings or ancient mosques in Nisantasi; a completely different atmosphere reigns here. Everyone around leisurely strolls with a cup of coffee or wine, savoring lightness and beauty.
Taksim Square and Galata Tower
By riding the cable car, you will arrive at the famous Taksim Square. Learn about Atatürk's life and the events of the First World War. Visit the neighborhoods where Russian immigrants lived and enter the churches of the Holy Trinity, St. Anthony of Padua, and St. Mary Draper. Finally, walk around the Galata Tower and descend through the Karakoy district to the Golden Horn bay.
