To escape the old city and see modern Istanbul as the residents do, head to Beyoglu, which is located close to Taksim Square. You may spend the entire day exploring the about 2,5 kilometre (1,5 mile) long boulevard that runs between Taksim Square and the Tunnel funicular stop near Galata Tower. Everywhere you look, there is a small history of Istanbul and a hidden tale to be discovered. The area is the hub of art and culture, and many national, international, and local activities reach art enthusiasts through it. Religions, languages, and ethnic groups coexist peacefully around these premises.
You will have remarkable experiences thanks to this distinctive art, culture, and entertainment event, which runs from October 30 to November 14 every two years.
