On a trip to Istanbul, we stayed at a hotel within walking distance to Taksim Square. The square is located in the central part of Istanbul. Walking along Istanbul's main walking street Istiklal, you come to the square, which is a place of mass celebrations for both the local population and tourists. The cultural center named after him is located here.Ataturk, consulates, university, mosque, hospital, hotels, park, numerous cafes, chain stores, souvenirs, roasted chestnuts are sold... The nightlife is bustling. It's a very interesting place.

Taksim is like a breath of fresh air in the narrow streets of Istanbul. Walking along Istiklal (the main walking street of Istanbul, along which an old tram runs), you go out to the square from which you can go down to the subway and go to the transfer point or exit, up to the new Istanbul airport. Of course, this is not the only square, but you will like it if you decide to visit this Great city, which holds the secrets of different eras.

A great location for tourists who are passing through. Good transport interchange, round-the-clock exchangers, and cafes nearby work for a long time. The square itself attracts attention only for the first time.

This place is interesting because a large number of people gather here after sunset, who just sit on benches, chat, drink tea (it is served here in disposable paper cups) and enjoy the evening coolness. There are many very colorful, unusual and informal residents of Istanbul and tourists in one place. There are even representatives of the oldest profession who differ significantly from the usual image. In my opinion, it's pretty safe here.

The square is probably good early in the morning or evening. We were on the hottest day, a lot of people. There are aromas of the eastern city in the air, we saw a tram, but did not dare to take a ride.I'll have to come back again.

There is a new mosque on Taksim Square. Very beautiful. It looks especially impressive in the evening in the backlight. There is a cafe on site where you can drink coffee with Turkish sweets and watch the strollers)
Next to a small park with a fountain. The metro station of the same name. The Republic monument, dedicated to the fifth anniversary of the establishment of the Turkish Republic in 1923, is located in the center.
On the square, street vendors offer corn and roasted chestnuts, souvenirs, fresh flowers.
In general, the square is lively both day and night.

The place is a must-visit. Do not forget to buy a Balik ekmek with ayran. There are a lot of people on holidays and significant dates for Turkey. You can have a lot of fun during the holidays. On a normal day, of course, an ordinary square. But the holiday is very atmospheric.

A beautiful square. I was there during the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Republic, the square was beautifully decorated, there was a pavilion with a demonstration of films about history. I really liked it!
Buses from the airport come here (about 5 euros one way), they run often. And from this square, it's great to walk along the El Halal shopping street (I may be mistaken in the name) to the Galata Tower and the strait. You will come out just to the bridge, which is interesting in itself - the restaurant area, and leads to the other shore, where St. Sophia, etc.

The square is known primarily for the Monument of the Republic, a monument to the founders of the new Turkish republic led by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. Among the persons depicted in the stone are Soviet military and Soviet statesmen Kliment Efremovich Voroshilov and Semyon Ivanovich Aralov.
There is also a large new mosque on the square, and the famous Istiklal tourist and shopping street begins from here. You can ride along it on an old tram.
You can get to the square as follows: by tram T1 to the Kabatash terminal station, from there by funicular to Taksim.
