Sightseeing

The view of the tower is perfect, the food is great, the price is modest, and the staff are all super friendly and professional. Locals and tourists eat here--I eat here almost daily.

This is the best cafe in Istanbul. They roast their beans in the back and all their coffees are fresh and professionally made. It is a cultural hub so when you go there you will run into local neighbors as well as interesting from all over the world. It sits on a small side-street off of the busy streets next to Galata Tower and overall has a great energy.

Neighborhoods

Galata is the most popular neighborhood in Istanbul because of the iconic Galata Tower and also all the charm around the tower. Ancient windy streets filled with artisan shops--not just touristy places--make this neighborhood amazing. It is filled with locals, expats from all around the world, tourists, artists, and artisans. Blue collar and white collar shops are neighbors and friends and the buildings and streets are all picture-worthy. Truly a special place in the world.
