  • Allow about 45 min for the 43 km drive; the price stays the same in heavy traffic.

Beyoğlu at a glance

Beyoğlu lies on the northern shore of the Golden Horn, facing the historic peninsula, and is known for the 19th-century buildings of the old Pera quarter. Galata Tower, the galleries and cafés of Karaköy, the sloping streets of Cihangir and the Pera Museum are among its highlights. On the Karaköy waterfront, Galataport combines the cruise terminal with shops and restaurants, so old and new sit side by side.

Many streets around Galata and Cihangir are steep, narrow or one-way, so if a boutique hotel or rental flat cannot be reached by car, your driver drops you at the closest accessible point. Cruise passengers arriving at or departing from Galataport should mention this in the booking notes so that the meeting point can be planned correctly.
