About Taksim
Taksim and Beyoğlu — with İstiklal Avenue, Galata Tower, Cihangir and the hotels of Karaköy — are Istanbul's liveliest area. Changing metro lines and buses with luggage on its steep, narrow streets is tiring; your driver takes you straight to your hotel door.
Istanbul Airport (IST) is on the European side in Arnavutköy, about 40–55 km by motorway from central districts such as Taksim, Sultanahmet and Şişli. Most international flights land here.
