Review: Istiklal Street, Istanbul, Turkey

From 20150224-23 - Istanbul Day 1 and 2 - Riyadh Airport - Grand Bazar

On our 1st day in Istanbul, 23rd February 2015, after getting free from our 1st attractions ‘MazeUp’, we went to Istiklal Street at around 7:55pm. The street was just at a walking distance, it was not in our original plan but we had time and we were near by so thought to just pass by. As expected, it was very crowded with chain of shops and food places on both sides. We saw the oldest tram as well but didn’t try to take a ride coz of it too crowded.

People who love shopping or window shopping or crowded places would love this street but none of these are interesting enough for me.
