Hello everyone and welcome to my channel, where we wander through the streets of Istanbul districts and talk about various interesting topics, gazing around at the local flavor. And today our route passes along the most famous street in Istanbul - Istiklal (Istiklâl) in the Beyoğlu district. There are many shops, restaurants, cafes, boutiques, cinemas, theaters, galleries and museums on Istiklal Street. Here you can find many shops of famous world brands, as well as traditional Turkish shops, street food vendors and places to relax. Istiklal Street is also famous for its architecture, here you can see buildings in various architectural styles, such as neoclassicism, Art Nouveau, Baroque and others. Istiklal Street is one of the most popular places for walking in Istanbul, especially in the evening, when many lanterns are lit and music sounds on the street. We will walk with you along this street, see 2 Catholic churches and go out to the famous Taksim Square (Taksim). Let's talk a little about the history of this street, about its tragic path of formation.
Have a nice watching to everyone 🙏🏻
