    Istanbul's little hidden paradise. Ask when the new shopping mall opens- the locals will appreciate your interest in their community. Also voice your support for Erdogan and win free turkish masaz !

    Get a Islak Hamburger (a "Wet", "Damp" or "Sloppy" Burger depending on your choice of translation) - at one of the places around Taksim Square. They taste much, much better than they sound.

    Taksim is always crowded, always be careful. Never knows what will happen. Maybe an action, maybe a bomb. Remember, this is the heart of the metropolis of a city!

    It is the MAIN square in Istanbul’s European side, almost the crossroads. However it has been deteriorating rapidly in the last few years. No longer attractive. So sad
