Cihangir

Wander Cihangir, the bohemian hillside neighbourhood above the Bosphorus. Browse antique shops on steep lanes, claim a café table among local regulars, and take in the view from the terrace.

📖

Full description

Cihangir is a compact neighbourhood on the slope between Taksim and the Bosphorus, long associated with artists, writers, and a relaxed, café-based social life. Its steep streets hold old apartment buildings, antique and design shops, and small cafés where locals linger for hours.

The terrace at the top of the hill offers views over the water and the old city skyline. The mood is casual and creative, making it a good counterpoint to the intensity of nearby İstiklal Avenue.
