About Taksim Square & Istiklal Street Walking Tour
Walk Taksim Square & Istiklal Street with the context most visitors miss. Your guide (or on-demand audio) traces the layers of Byzantine, Ottoman and modern Istanbul stacked on top of one another, pausing at the details you would otherwise stroll straight past — an inscription over a doorway, a carving on a fountain, a marker under a plane tree.
Insider tips
- Wear proper walking shoes — the cobbles are uneven.
- Carry water, especially between May and September.
- Follow the guide's tips on which side streets are worth an extra ten minutes.
