About Taksim

The Republic Monument, the Atatürk Cultural Center and Gezi Park border the square, and İstiklal Avenue, a pedestrian street with a nostalgic tram, runs from here towards Galata. The area has a dense concentration of hotels, restaurants and cultural venues. It suits business and leisure travellers who want to stay in the heart of city life.

The route

From Sabiha Gökçen the route heads west across the Asian side, crosses to Europe over one of the Bosphorus bridges and approaches Taksim from the Şişli direction.

Arrival & departure tip

The Bosphorus bridges are where most time is lost at peak hours, so arrivals during the evening rush can take longer. As İstiklal is pedestrianised, drop-off is on the nearest road to your hotel.
