Istiklal - Located in the historic Beyoğlu district, it is an elegant
pedestrian street.
It is approximately three kilometers long, which houses exquisite boutiques,
music stores, bookstores, art galleries, cinemas, theaters, libraries, cafés, pubs,
night clubs with live music, historical patisseries, chocolateries and restaurants.
The avenue, surrounded by the unique nineteenth century Turkish architecture, starts from
the medieval Genoese neighbourhood around Galata Tower and ultimately leads up to Taksim
Square.
