Lovely mosque and square. Great vibe near to the metro and buses and short walk from the famous Istaklal Shopping street.

Such a nice lively square. Loved it. Full of energy and people walking from all around the world. I came during the day and it was spectacular, I bet at night it will be too, just different vibes. Highly recommended. Note: if you have elderly that need wheelchair, it is almost flat surfaces.

Excellent shopping area and tourist visit. Lots of shops and dining options, with many cafes and dessert shops as well. Plenty of hotels around. The area is open and clean, though busy. There is heavy police presence and security. Unfortunately if you stop to stand around and think for even a moment, you will have people walk up to you looking for spare change or offering to sell you something you don't want. Worth a visit for those coming to Istanbul.
