Beyoglu District
Istanbul's cultural heartbeat, Beyoglu stretches from Taksim Square to Galata Tower, where Istiklal Street pulsates with art, music, and cosmopolitan flair.
Once home to embassies and poets, it is a blend of 19th-century European chic and bohemian allure.
There are vintage arcades, old trams, and rooftop bars with Golden Horn views, while tucked-away churches, synagogues, and Ottoman-era mosques reveal the district's layered nature.
Beyoglu balances past and present in a pulsating cityscape that never sleeps.
