Join a guide on a walking tour of some of the best spots of Istanbul's Galata neighborhood, a social and cultural hub steeped in history and awash with numerous picturesque sites.
Join a guided walking tour to explore the best of Galata, the European zone of Istanbul, lined with chic bars restaurants and small shops. Go up the Galata Tower for expansive views of the city, visit the SALT gallery, pass by the Camondo Stairs, and cross the Bosphorus through the Galata Bridge.
Start your guided tour at the bustling Taksim Square, the central hub of Galata, dotted with old-school restaurants, shops, and hotels. Then walk through Istiklal Avenue, historically known as the Grand Avenue of Pera Ottoman.
Wander through the busy streets from Taksim to Galata and soak up the sights, sounds, and smells. See vendors selling their wares, locals going about on their daily commute, and witness the energetic atmosphere of the neighborhood.
Next, head to Galata Tower the area’s focal point and one of the city's important symbols. Learn why this historic monument was included in the UNESCO World Heritage Temporary List in 2013 and is considered to be one of the oldest towers in the world, dating back to 500 AD.
Next, pass by the Camondo Stairs, an Art Deco style pedestrian stairwell known for its ribbon-like design. Snap some photos by the stylish steps before moving to the Salt Galata Art Gallery, a former bank building turned modern institution with rotational exhibitions of contemporary art pieces.
Continue to the Galata Bridge that spans the Golden Horn and is featured in Turkish literature, poetry, theater, and novels. Cross the bridge to soak in a beautiful view of the city. Take photos of the Bosphorus and the local fishermen standing on the bridge before ending the tour in Eminonu.
