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.
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.
I think comments are unnecessary,
The famous Istiklal Street starts from the square
There is also the Ataturk Cultural Center, exhibitions are held, everything is fine.
You can visit once, eat a kebab, walk along the streets, take a ride on the tram and of course shop around, a huge number of shops, I really liked the cafe, almost immediately on the left is located, the atmosphere and food are super, I recommend.
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 fairly large square in the center of Istanbul. All kinds of demonstrations are often held here. There is an exit from the metro station of the same name. In the center stands the monument "Republic" with Voroshilov and Frunze, installed in 1928. Taksim was once an Armenian district. It is convenient to walk from here to the famous Istiklal Street.
A beautiful square, we were during the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the republic - everything was decorated with flags. It is clear that Turks love their country and Istanbul.
Taksim Square
- this is one of those places that you cannot leave Istanbul without visiting, because this trip without Taksim will be incomplete. Restaurants, cafes, jewelry, all brand stores are right here.
It is always crowded, the atmosphere is constantly moving. Merchants are calling to their shops, people are sweating endlessly. There is a beautiful mosque nearby. And the famous Istiklal street with a tram.
