On a trip to Istanbul, we stayed at a hotel within walking distance to Taksim Square. The square is located in the central part of Istanbul. Walking along Istanbul's main walking street Istiklal, you come to the square, which is a place of mass celebrations for both the local population and tourists. The cultural center named after him is located here.Ataturk, consulates, university, mosque, hospital, hotels, park, numerous cafes, chain stores, souvenirs, roasted chestnuts are sold... The nightlife is bustling. It's a very interesting place.
Taksim is like a breath of fresh air in the narrow streets of Istanbul. Walking along Istiklal (the main walking street of Istanbul, along which an old tram runs), you go out to the square from which you can go down to the subway and go to the transfer point or exit, up to the new Istanbul airport. Of course, this is not the only square, but you will like it if you decide to visit this Great city, which holds the secrets of different eras.
It's an interesting square, I recommend everyone to take a walk here, take a ride on a red tram, stroll through a cafe with local cuisine, go shopping, it's noisy, of course, but very beautiful
There is a metro and tram stop nearby. It's a very pretentious and beautiful place. You should definitely visit this square, especially if you value luxury and you need branded stores.
A great place to stay in Istanbul. Near the metro, bus stop to the airport. It takes 10 minutes to get to the tram stop. Istiklal Street originates from the square, where shops are open until late and it is always crowded.
We rode on 1 Tram along the Istanbul map. The square is large and beautiful. There are many mosques and attractions around. There is a port, metro, tram station, taxi buses
A beautiful square, very lively. Istiklal pedestrian street begins (or ends) here. There is also a bus stop for buses to the airport. There is a subway
Beauty!!! Especially the red historical tram. Nearby Istiklal street, which has a huge number of shops and cafes.The Blue Mosque and Grand Bazaar are 3 metro stops away.
Centrovaya (central) Square (from where the famous Istiklal Street begins) A great city that holds secrets of its beloved ["There are even representatives... [non-legal] profession ["You serve as a table decoration, you're like a fish [as an option, vodka...] served with beer"], which are significantly different from the usual image" (Dmitry R. Connoisseur of the 19th-level city on July 30, 2024)] different eras!
Clean, beautiful, lots of places where you can sit down to relax and take beautiful photos. Close to the pedestrian street. The best part is that there are trash cans everywhere.
I think comments are unnecessary,
The famous Istiklal Street starts from the square
There is also the Ataturk Cultural Center, exhibitions are held, everything is fine.
A great location for tourists who are passing through. Good transport interchange, round-the-clock exchangers, and cafes nearby work for a long time. The square itself attracts attention only for the first time.
We lived next to this square, it can be said to be the central point. There are a lot of people , shops, various cafes, but the prices are certainly designed for tourists.
Beautiful square. Near the entrance to Istiklal street.
There are many cafes and eateries.
It's crowded day and night.
There is an entrance to the Taksim metro station on the square.
There is a new mosque on Taksim Square. Very beautiful. It looks especially impressive in the evening in the backlight. There is a cafe on site where you can drink coffee with Turkish sweets and watch the strollers)
Next to a small park with a fountain. The metro station of the same name. The Republic monument, dedicated to the fifth anniversary of the establishment of the Turkish Republic in 1923, is located in the center.
On the square, street vendors offer corn and roasted chestnuts, souvenirs, fresh flowers.
In general, the square is lively both day and night.
the square itself pulls in a C or two, an ordinary unremarkable square. BUT the famous pedestrian shopping street Istiklal begins with it, along which an old red tram runs, next to the square there is a beautiful mosque, 50 meters from the square there is a beautiful Catholic church
This place is interesting because a large number of people gather here after sunset, who just sit on benches, chat, drink tea (it is served here in disposable paper cups) and enjoy the evening coolness. There are many very colorful, unusual and informal residents of Istanbul and tourists in one place. There are even representatives of the oldest profession who differ significantly from the usual image. In my opinion, it's pretty safe here.
You should definitely visit the square and see this monument. Previously, it's better to look at who's who on the Internet so that you can find out later.
A beautiful square. Nearby is the Taksim Mosque, Istiklal Street, a park and the metro, which also allows you to get to the ferry pier in a couple of minutes
Here I was almost taken to the police for putting my bag on the lawn to take a photo. The police stopped right next to me, where they explained that this was not allowed. The square smoothly flows into the famous Istiklal Street. The square itself is large, and a new large mosque with the same name has been built nearby.
A beautiful square. I was there during the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Republic, the square was beautifully decorated, there was a pavilion with a demonstration of films about history. I really liked it!
Buses from the airport come here (about 5 euros one way), they run often. And from this square, it's great to walk along the El Halal shopping street (I may be mistaken in the name) to the Galata Tower and the strait. You will come out just to the bridge, which is interesting in itself - the restaurant area, and leads to the other shore, where St. Sophia, etc.
The place is a must-visit. Do not forget to buy a Balik ekmek with ayran. There are a lot of people on holidays and significant dates for Turkey. You can have a lot of fun during the holidays. On a normal day, of course, an ordinary square. But the holiday is very atmospheric.
A very beautiful place, a pedestrian street nearby, a strait within walking distance, an interesting monument in the center of the square, there is something to see
You can visit once, eat a kebab, walk along the streets, take a ride on the tram and of course shop around, a huge number of shops, I really liked the cafe, almost immediately on the left is located, the atmosphere and food are super, I recommend.
The square is known primarily for the Monument of the Republic, a monument to the founders of the new Turkish republic led by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. Among the persons depicted in the stone are Soviet military and Soviet statesmen Kliment Efremovich Voroshilov and Semyon Ivanovich Aralov.
There is also a large new mosque on the square, and the famous Istiklal tourist and shopping street begins from here. You can ride along it on an old tram.
You can get to the square as follows: by tram T1 to the Kabatash terminal station, from there by funicular to Taksim.
Actually, it's nothing special. The area is like a square. Big. Well, a significant place for Turks. And there's not much to see. At the same time, it's worth a visit. It's a symbol after all.
The square is probably good early in the morning or evening. We were on the hottest day, a lot of people. There are aromas of the eastern city in the air, we saw a tram, but did not dare to take a ride.I'll have to come back again.
A beautiful square with an equally interesting mosque illuminated at night and a monument to Ataturk, which includes the main milestones of the Formation of the Turkish Republic. Very nice and beautiful photos!
It's beautiful, dangerous, a lot of people, besides the Turks, the whole Middle East. Scary people on the other side of Tarlabashi Boulevard. It's dangerous out there. Slums
A great park for spending time in the evenings .You can drink tea , meet friends , take a walk with children , with a dog . In the evening, you can sit on the lawn and admire the bustle in the square..
