It's quite interesting here. The first time I went from the river in 2019, this time I went down from Taksim Square, and I felt very good!

    Istanbul Riverside I said before that the Grand Bazaar is the big alley in Istanbul, and Istiklal Street is the Istanbul Riverside. On the first day, we went to Taksim Square with a group tour, and only had one hour to go shopping. Of course, we didn't go shopping enough, so we arranged our time here for the second day's free travel. We took the bus from the hotel to this area (it is said that the taxi price in Istanbul is expensive and there is traffic jam, because the traffic jam will be more expensive, so we chose to take the bus). We first went to the Rainbow Stairs, and then walked through a residential area to the nearby Carrefour. In the middle, we also went into a drugstore. The owner was very talkative and said that he had been to many places in China, and even to Tianjin and Hohhot. He was very kind. It was a mistake to go to Carrefour first. I bought a lot of things, which caused us to carry these things behind me. After buying snacks and souvenirs, we came to Istiklal Street, which may be the busiest pedestrian street in Istanbul. There were a lot of people on the day we went. It can be seen that not only foreign tourists came to visit, but also locals came to shop. There are large and small shopping malls, restaurants, jewelry stores, souvenir shops, and clothing stores on the street. The types of shops are very complete. We went to Pandora, Mado, St. Anthony's Church, a baked potato shop, a regular restaurant barbecue shop, a street stall barbecue shop, a candy store, many clothing stores, Watsons, two shopping malls... I don't know if I have said it all. I walked around for a whole day and went back when it was dark. I bought a lot of things and ate local special barbecue. Although I spent the whole day on this street and didn't go anywhere else, there are really a lot of food, drinks and shopping on this street. Although it's a bit tiring, I had a great time. The food is much better when traveling independently than when traveling with a group.

    Istiklal Street in Istanbul, Turkey is one of the busiest streets in Turkey. It gathers tourists from all over the world and is crowded with people. There are not only local specialties but also all kinds of shopping malls and clothing.

    Independence Street is a commercial pedestrian street in Istanbul. You can walk around here at will, there are many commercial shops, you can often see discounts, the discount is quite suitable for buying. In addition, the night view of Independence Street is still very beautiful. If you come to Istanbul, it is recommended to go for a walk.

    Independence Avenue is Istanbul's "Xiangzhang Avenue", which starts in the medieval Genoa community near the Galata Bridge Tower in the new European district and ends in Taksim Square. The 16th century Galata was a small Christian area, and by the end of the Ottoman Empire, the street was renamed Independence Avenue in honor of the victory of the Turkish War of Independence. This elegant pedestrian street, about 3 kilometers long, is spread by Istanbul's famous buildings, including various churches, consulates, famous restaurants and so on. There are also many boutiques, music shops, bookstores, art galleries, cinemas, theatres, libraries, cafes, bars, nightclubs, old pastries, chocolate shops and restaurants, attracting locals and foreign tourists, and a good place for young people to socialize. The guide took us to Taksim Square and gave us free walk on Independence Avenue, when I walked two-thirds of the way, through the gate of an old European building, I saw a red brick church inside, very delicate and elegant, this is the largest Roman Catholic church in Istanbul St Ann Tonno Church, on the right there is a realistic statue of Noah flying pigeons, on the left there is a modern bronze statue of Jesus carrying a cross, two statues of different styles, quite infectious.

    It takes a whole day to visit, whether it is architecture, shops or pedestrians, it is completely European. All kinds of food, brands, food, bars, coffee shops, whether looking at architecture, looking at exotic customs, looking at handsome men and beautiful women, buying and buying, it is easy to let you consume a whole day, only hate the dark too early. Buy some souvenirs elsewhere, others are bought here, quality and price are much better than domestic.
