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.
Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) is on the Asian side in Pendik. It is about 30 km from Kadıköy and Üsküdar and about 45–50 km across the Bosphorus to Sultanahmet and Taksim on the European side; bridge traffic can add time at rush hour.
