At the heart of Taksim is Innpera Hotel Istanbul in Turkey. The 4-star hotel is a timeless gem that has remained a popular accommodation within the square since 1964, presenting travelers from all over with the best of business and class in the city. It sits at a much privileged location within the city center, effortlessly bringing guests closer to the many pleasures the destination offers. Some of the most fascinating attractions to see nearby while staying here include:
Aya Sofya
Everywhere you look in Istanbul, there are architectural masterpieces left and right. But among the many incredible buildings, the Aya Sofya stands out for its sheer innovation, beauty, and historical value. From the outside, it is hard to appreciate what makes it special, but one step inside transports you into a whole new world that inspires the senses and moves the soul. Get mesmerized by spectacular images of Byzantines celebrating the liturgy, Crusaders storming the main door, and Muslims worshiping Allah.
Beautiful Skyline
Great cities are often defined by their majestic skylines and in Istanbul, there is a never ending stream that can fill an entire album. Visit the 7 hills of the Old City and troop its imperial mosques that highlight the best show the skies offer. The design of the city, with its countless minarets, distinctive domes, and curvy outer casings, produce a skyline that is as romantic and prolific as can be. Book a dinner by the terrace of a restaurant in Eminonu or Beyoglu to indulge in this beauty.
Bazaar District
A burst of color and chaos in the best possible way, no visitor to Istanbul can pass the bazaar district. There are more sophisticated shopping options in the glam Kanyon area on the other side of the Golden Horn, but it is within the bazaars that you truly get to sink your teeth in the culture of the city. Spend time weaving through the hidden Ottoman caravanserais and labyrinthine shopping streets or wrap your head around the intense smells of cinnamon and clove at the famed Spice Bazaar. Either way, you are sure to fall in love with the best of Istanbul.
Istiklal Caddesi
Istiklal Caddesi or Independence Ave highlights the many contradictions that has kept Turkey as fascinating as it is for centuries. On one hand lies Taksim Square, the bustling heart of modern Istanbul. On the other hand sits Galata, a place lined with meandering cobblestone lanes that have witnessed the changing of numerous imperial powers that have come to the country. Enjoy a laid-back atmosphere here and take pleasure in its interesting mix of churches, mosques, shops, bathhouses, and various hotels in Istanbul.
