Обзор
Located in the northern side of the Golden Horn, Galata is a social and cultural hub steeped in history and awash with numerous picturesque sites. If you’ve got half a day to spare, go on this walking tour around some of the area’s best spots!
If you’re joining our morning tour, we’ll meet at the bustling Taksim Square, the central hub of Galata, filled with restaurants, shops, and hotels. Then we’ll walk through Istiklal Caddesi, historically known as the Grand Avenue of Pera Ottoman.
We’ll wander through the busy streets and soak up the sights, sounds, smells, and more. We’ll spy vendors selling their wares, locals going to and fro on their daily commute, and witness the energetic atmosphere of the neighborhood.
Then we’ll head to the area’s focal point, Galata Tower. Considered as one of the symbols of Istanbul, this historic monument was also included in the UNESCO World Heritage Temporary List in 2013. It is thought to be one of the oldest towers in the world, dating back to 500 AD.
Next we’ll pass by the Camondo Stairs, an art deco style pedestrian stairwell that is eye catching for its ribbon-like design. We’ll snap some photos by the stylish steps before heading to the SALT Galata Art Gallery.
This former bank building turned modern art gallery features numerous rotational exhibitions of contemporary art pieces. We’ll view some of the art pieces and exhibitions before heading to the Galata Bridge.
This iconic bridge that spans the Golden Horn is a central part of Galata, featuring in numerous Turkish literature, poems, theater, novels, and more. We’ll cross the bridge and take photos of the view before ending up in Eminonu to end our tour.
For travelers joining the afternoon tour, take note that the itinerary will be reversed, meeting up in Eminonu and ending up in Taksim Square.
