9.2Guide to staying in Taksim with the family
Where to stay inside Taksim
Talimhane, the hotel street behind the square, is relatively quiet and closest to the metro; Gümüşsuyu, on the slope down to Kabataş, gives Bosphorus views; hotels on İstiklal Avenue itself are closest to the action and the noisiest at night. For families we recommend Talimhane, Gümüşsuyu or Cihangir.
Getting around from Taksim
Taksim metro station (line M2) connects you to Şişli, Cevahir mall and Levent, and the F1 funicular takes you down to Kabataş, where the Bosphorus cruises depart and the T1 tram continues to Sultanahmet. From Istanbul Airport a private car takes about 45 minutes depending on traffic, from Sabiha Gökçen about an hour.
Restaurants and shopping for families
Around Taksim Square and İstiklal Avenue there are dozens of Arabic and Turkish restaurants and dessert shops open late, the Balık Pazarı seafood market, and Cevahir mall two metro stops away. Children love the vintage tram on İstiklal and the nearby Galata Tower.
How to choose the right room
Add the children’s ages in the booking box to see family and connecting rooms and each hotel’s child policy, and check the facilities list (family rooms, breakfast, indoor pool, parking) on each hotel page before paying.
