Culinary & Cultural Experience in Multicultural Beyoglu & Galata

This is one of the most diverse and comprehensive routes in Istanbul. Let's discover the city's modern heart with its contemporary contradictions, cosmopolitan heritage, and well-established food/entertainment culture. Galata, Pera, Beyoglu and Taksim... These areas offer much more than what initially appears.

From a cultural aspect, we will visit many historical churches in Istanbul that belong to various Christian communities. We will see some of the best contemporary cultural centers in the city. Among them is a leading painting museum, where you will be introduced to a great selection of Turkish paintings. Beyoglu is also a hub of art galleries; we may visit one of the temporary exhibitions as a pleasant surprise. We will also discover less-known streets of Galata, which are becoming trendier each year.

From a culinary perspective, this route is quite rewarding. Some of the best representatives of Turkish cuisine are located in these areas. Delicious meat and aubergine dishes, the best Turkish coffee in the city, and sweet pastries are among the endless options.

Let's discover the most-visited but least-understood part of the city together.
