Strolling along the picturesque . street of the new city there are
many interesting sites to visit:
1.Galata Towers
Built in 1348, The Galata Towers in Beuglu is
in the Morden part of Turkey. It is from here
that Hezarfen Ahmed Celebi flew from
across the Bosporus from Europe to Asia in
1638 thus inaugurating the first international
flight.
You can get a birds eye view of everything
from the top of the Galata towers. The best
time to go is before sunset where you can
observe the scenic view followed by he
Magrib Azaan from all around the city. Please
note that ascending the towers comes with a
price. The little cobble-stoned street near the
historic Galata Tower is probably one of
Istanbul’s coolest shopping streets. You
definitely won’t see any big name brands,
because this street is known for its cool
boutiques. As you stroll up and down the
winding streets you will come across the
amazing antique and vintage boutiques as
well as the Museum of Innocence, which
(also quite befittingly) is a giant showcase for
a past, but not forgotten, Istanbul.
2.Miniaturk
Take the kids to Miniaturk. A mini town
of various architects in Istanbul that
children enjoy.
3.Emirgan Park.
Its beautiful to stroll along the largest public parks in Istanbul, especially in Spring during the
annual Tulip festival .The Emigran park is located at the banks of the Bosphorus.
