Description:
To truly understand the culture of a city, you look to the past as much as the present. Discover the best of traditional and modern Istanbul on this guided walking tour through historic Taksim and lively Beyoglu, while taking in the beauty of 19th-century architecture paired with 21st-century life.
Greet your guide at the Spice Bazaar and head to Taksim—the heart of Istanbul. Walk alongside modern businessmen and young artists alike as you make your way to Beyoglu, a bustling area teeming with galleries, restaurants, and night clubs.
Then join the steady flow of pedestrians on the Istiklal Caddesito, and marvel at the 1800s European architecture flanking this grand boulevard. Duck into a café, order a cup of coffee, and uncover your fate as well. Local fortune tellers well-versed in the practice of reading coffee grounds sift through the muddled remains of your Turkish brew to catch a glimpse of your destiny.
But you won’t need a fortune teller to know what the rest of your tour has in store for you. A shopping trip for local seafood at the famous Balik Bazaar, a ride on the historic Tunel funicular, and a return tram back to Sultanahmet are all in your future.
