At
the heart of Taksim is Innpera Hotel Istanbul in Turkey. The 4-star
hotel is a timeless gem that has remained a popular accommodation
within the square since 1964, presenting travelers from all over with
the best of business and class in the city. It sits at a much
privileged location within the city center, effortlessly bringing
guests closer to the many pleasures the destination offers. Some of
the most fascinating attractions to see nearby while staying here
include:
Aya
Sofya
Everywhere
you look in Istanbul, there are architectural masterpieces left and
right. But among the many incredible buildings, the Aya Sofya stands
out for its sheer innovation, beauty, and historical value. From the
outside, it is hard to appreciate what makes it special, but one step
inside transports you into a whole new world that inspires the senses
and moves the soul. Get mesmerized by spectacular images of
Byzantines celebrating the liturgy, Crusaders storming the main door,
and Muslims worshiping Allah.
Beautiful
Skyline
Great
cities are often defined by their majestic skylines and in Istanbul,
there is a never ending stream that can fill an entire album. Visit
the 7 hills of the Old City and troop its imperial mosques that
highlight the best show the skies offer. The design of the city, with
its countless minarets, distinctive domes, and curvy outer casings,
produce a skyline that is as romantic and prolific as can be. Book a
dinner by the terrace of a restaurant in Eminonu or Beyoglu to
indulge in this beauty.
Bazaar
District
A
burst of color and chaos in the best possible way, no visitor to
Istanbul can pass the bazaar district. There are more sophisticated
shopping options in the glam Kanyon area on the other side of the
Golden Horn, but it is within the bazaars that you truly get to sink
your teeth in the culture of the city. Spend time weaving through the
hidden Ottoman caravanserais and labyrinthine shopping streets or
wrap your head around the intense smells of cinnamon and clove at the
famed Spice Bazaar. Either way, you are sure to fall in love with the
best of Istanbul.
Istiklal
Caddesi
Istiklal
Caddesi or Independence Ave highlights the many contradictions that
has kept Turkey as fascinating as it is for centuries. On one hand
lies Taksim Square, the bustling heart of modern Istanbul. On the
other hand sits Galata, a place lined with meandering cobblestone
lanes that have witnessed the changing of numerous imperial powers
that have come to the country. Enjoy a laid-back atmosphere here and
take pleasure in its interesting mix of churches, mosques, shops,
bathhouses, and various hotels in Istanbul.
