Istiklal is surrounded by late Ottoman buildings and leads to Taksim Square. There are shops of many international clothing brands, many cafes and restaurants. Istiklal Street is one of the most popular pedestrian streets among tourists.

A busy pedestrian street filled with a bunch of people. Cars are not allowed to enter here, but trams are allowed. And here he is, red-faced, squeezing through the crowd that is walking along the rails. The crowd slowly parted a few meters from the tram. If you're lucky, you'll see a charismatic ice cream man turn the sale into a show with sound effects and clown numbers. You can also come here for shopping, there are hundreds of shops, as we were shown, mostly medium and expensive. And here in Istiklal, there are many terrorist attacks.

Istiklal Street and its surroundings are very reminiscent of Budapest, its Pest part in the Keleti station area. A single-track old tram runs along Istiklal Street from Tunel to Taksim Square. Very romantic! The only pity is that the tram is always packed with people jumping on the footboard of the tram in the process of moving. This is a completely "different" Istanbul - the habitat of poets, artists, musicians and government officials. It is on Istiklal that the embassies and consulates of many foreign powers are located, young people like to "hang out" here.
