Stop 1: Galata Tower

Our journey begins at the Galata Tower, one of the most recognized landmarks in Istanbul. Standing tall since the 14th century, this medieval stone tower offers stunning views of the city and the Bosphorus. While we won’t be climbing the tower in this video, you’ll get to see its beautiful surroundings and the lively atmosphere of Galata Square, known for its charming streets filled with cafes, restaurants, and street performers.

Stop 2: Istiklal Street

Next, we head into the heart of Istanbul: Istiklal Street. This pedestrian avenue is one of the busiest streets in the city, attracting millions of visitors with its historic architecture, boutique shops, cafes, and cultural landmarks. As we walk along this 1.4 km street, you’ll experience the blend of old and new Istanbul, from the grand French Consulate to the historic Beyoğlu Tram that runs through the middle of the street.

Street Food Highlights

One of the highlights of Istiklal Street is its variety of street food. As we stroll down the avenue, we’ll pass by some of the most popular food vendors serving delicious Turkish treats. From simit (a sesame-covered bread), roasted chestnuts, and grilled corn, to mouthwatering dishes like kumpir (stuffed baked potatoes) and doner kebabs, there’s something for every taste. You’ll see the vibrant street food culture of Istanbul, with locals and tourists alike indulging in these quick bites.

Cultural Landmarks

Istiklal Street is not just about shopping and food—it’s also home to several cultural and historical landmarks. As we walk, you’ll see buildings such as the Saint Anthony of Padua Church, the largest Catholic church in Istanbul, and the Pera Museum, which houses a variety of art collections. We’ll also pass by Çiçek Pasajı (Flower Passage), a beautiful historic arcade filled with restaurants and bars, perfect for soaking in the local atmosphere.

Stop 3: Taksim Square

Finally, our tour will end at Taksim Square, a symbolic heart of modern Istanbul. This square is a major hub for both locals and tourists, serving as a meeting point for city events, festivals, and political demonstrations.
