Places to see in Karakoy

Galata Bridge and Galata Tower are the first places that come to mind when you think of Karaköy, one of the most important centers of the European taxi. You should definitely take a stroll on the Galata Bridge or sit somewhere overlooking this place and see the sweet bustle of people. Motorcycles on one side, people moving from one side to the other with trams and people fishing on the other side will take you to a sweet peace. Maybe it will give you a rest in that bustle. The Galata Tower is the most beautiful and general view of the entrance to the Bosphorus. Go up this tower and read the story of it. Enjoy the magnificent view from the islands to the first bridge. Think of Hezarfen, or the Genoese, or today if you like. Afterwards, you may find yourself in a cozy boutique café while wandering the streets of Karaköy and looking at the graffiti. Murakıp Street, French passage, Kemankeş Kara Mustafa Pasha neighborhood, which is the rhythm of Karaköy, and Muhit are among the places to be seen.
