Beşiktaş at a glance
Beşiktaş is a lively district on the European shore of the Bosphorus, known for its historic palaces. Dolmabahçe Palace, Çırağan Palace and the Ortaköy Mosque, standing right beside one of the Bosphorus bridges, are among its landmarks. The breakfast cafés and student hangouts of Beşiktaş market, the seaside road through Bebek and Arnavutköy and the football stadium keep the district busy by day and by night.
A transfer from Sabiha Gökçen to Beşiktaş crosses from the Asian side to the European side over one of the Bosphorus bridges. On match days and during large events, roads around the stadium may be closed, so if you are travelling then, add your hotel address and, if possible, an alternative drop-off point in the booking notes. On your way back, leave generous time for your flight to allow for bridge traffic.
