11. Taksim Square

携Cheng携ChengThe starting point of the pedestrian street
We will stay in Istanbul for two days. The first day is a group tour, and the second day is a self-funded group tour or a free tour.
The first stop on the first day was Taksim Square. This square is a circular open space with some statues in the middle. However, this square is also a relatively large square in Istanbul. There are many pigeons in the square. Don't use others to feed them, because it costs money.
Next to it is the pedestrian street, and the square is the beginning of the pedestrian street. We arrived too early and many shops were closed. We came again the next day and had a good look. There are large shopping malls, small supermarkets, jewelry stores, Watsons, and various places to eat. The pedestrian street is still very playable.Istanbul3.6km from downtownFree entry

16. Rainbow Stairs
5.852 Reviews
based on 23 reviewsNo.15 of Best Things to Do in Istanbul携Cheng携ChengFree travel first stop Our group in Istanbul arranged for two days. The first day was to go to various attractions and the second day was free. Most of the people in the group followed the travel agency to a day trip at their own expense. The three of us chose to go out by ourselves. We took the bus from the hotel to the vicinity of Independence Street. The advantage of this bus is that there is a station name on the bus, which is consistent with Google Maps, and we are not worried about sitting at the station. The disadvantage is that we do not accept cash, we can only swipe the card, and we need to buy the bus card in advance and charge the money. I poured a car in the middle and came to this net red rainbow ladder. The background is not introduced, just to see Jinger. There is a gap with the imagination, located in a small alley, and some are not very tidy. The photos on the Internet are all filtered. But taking pictures is still possible. There are so many cats in Turkey, but they look a bit fierce.Istanbul3.6km from downtownFree entry

多姐小桃DorisWhen we arrived at the first tourist attraction in Istanbul, perhaps our expectations were too high and we didn’t see the shocking effect as shown on the postcards. However, Istanbul is really beautiful, with clear blue sky, colorful clouds flying where the seagulls fly, and the local residents are relatively Buddhist. This place was once an important port and naval base for the Ottoman Empire and the Byzantine Empire.Istanbul3km from downtownFree entry

Named after the French writer Pierre Loti, this hill boasts a sweeping observation deck and a café overlooking the riverfront which serves snacks and Turkish coffee.
