Cihangir is the pearl of Beyoğlu. It is the calm side of Beyoğlu, with its historical houses, cats, mild slopes -and perhaps its most important characteristic- its “mahalle” (neighborhood) culture, which is gradually dying out. Cihangir is both steady and changeable, with its inhabitants who have been living in the same place for years. It is famous for its cafes and restaurants. The inhabitants of this district are mainly the foreigners living in Istanbul, authors, artists, journalists and students.
Just below Cihangir and right near the seashore is the Tophane district. This place is adorned with historical fountains and mosques, and Istanbul Modern Art Museum, one of the important platforms of art world. You can enjoy a water pipe (nargile) , tea and backgammon in the cafes lined up side by side next to the historical buildings.
After a short walk towards Karaköy you may stop at the famous Güllüoğlu and taste baklava or you may go on for a little while and enjoy the taste of fried mussels and beer in Karaköy Dock.
Istiklal Avenue extends from Taksim Square to the Tünel and doubtlessly, it is the vital point, the rare and precious part of Beyoğlu. You can either walk along the avenue and explore it, or get on the nostalgic tram and watch the two sides of the avenue: both options will give you different experiences. In the right and left sides of the street, there are famous fast food, pide and kebab restaurants; along with other restaurants serving delicious examples from the world cuisine. Do you feel like seeing a movie? There are cinemas with a couple of salons along the street or at cross streets. Or maybe you would like to go to the opera or the theater. In that case you can go to State Theaters or private theaters. You can drop by the galleries you come across on the road. If your intention is to drink something and dance, you may go to the bars, pubs and nightclubs serving to all kinds of music taste.
It is possible to walk from one end of the avenue to the other in 20 minutes with quick steps. It awaits you with hundreds of shops, venues, restaurants, cultural-art centers. Beyoğlu is in constant change, renewing itself all the time. Beyoğlu is a place where the historical texture is blended perfectly with the opportunities meeting all the demands of the modern life, and this is the reason why Beyoğlu is the pearl of Istanbul.
