Silivri
Silivri is one of Istanbul's westernmost districts, at the gateway to Thrace and roughly an hour and a half from the city centre. With farmland, dairies famous for their yoghurt and a long coastline, it feels more like a country town than part of a metropolis. Area guide ›
Taksim
Taksim is the busiest square on the European side and the symbolic heart of modern Istanbul. The Atatürk Cultural Center rises on one side, while the Republic Monument marks the start of İstiklal Avenue on the other. A wide belt of hotels runs from here toward Harbiye and Gümüşsuyu, covering everything from large international chains to small guesthouses, which is why so many first-time visitors base themselves here.
