About Taksim

Taksim, in the Beyoğlu district on Istanbul's European side, is the neighbourhood around one of the city's best-known squares. The Republic Monument, the rebuilt Atatürk Cultural Centre and İstiklal Avenue, which runs from the square towards Tünel, are its landmarks. Surrounding neighbourhoods such as Cihangir, Galata and Karaköy, with their cafés, art galleries and boutique hotels, make Taksim a popular place to stay.

A transfer from Sabiha Gökçen to Taksim crosses from the Asian to the European side over one of the Bosphorus bridges. Bridge traffic varies by time of day, so allow plenty of time when heading back for a departure. İstiklal Avenue is closed to traffic, so for hotels on the avenue your driver will drop you at the closest accessible point. If you are flying from the European side, Istanbul Airport is the alternative.
