Taksim
Square, the landmark
of northern Beyoğlu
(map),
was the center of the more modern
and upscale portion of 20th-century Istanbul.
It
has fewer major sights than Sultanahmet in
Old Istanbul south of the Golden
Horn, but the upscale boutiques, fine
restaurants and trendy cafés
and bars of Istiklal
Caddesi and Cumhuriyet Caddesi
are only steps away, and Dolmabahçe
Palace is a 15-minute stroll
downhill on the shores of the Bosphorus.
There's only one hotel right in the
square:
The
Marmara Taksim 5*****
This
high-rise
right in Taksim Square is always
bustling, with good views on all sides. More...
Plenty of other hotels are within
a few minutes' walk of Taksim. Check
these additional areas:
—Talimhane, just north of Taksim
Square
—Elmadağ, just a bit farther north
—Harbiye, farther north, with the
Hilton Istanbul
—Nişantaşı & Teşvikiye, with upscale
short-term apartments
—Sıraselviler, just southeast of Taksim
Square
—Galatasaray, half-way south along Istiklal
Caddesi toward Tünel Square
