If you’re looking for an experience that’ll excite all five senses, we recommend you visit Kapali Carsi; the bazaar is free to visit and sits in the Karaköy neighborhood. Once inside, have fun bartering with merchants and watching them entice customers. You can get here from the Marmaray train, the M2 tram, and numerous buses.

Head to Ortaköy using ride share and experience the city’s vibrant nightlife.
