Şişli at a glance
Şişli is a district in the commercial and urban core of Istanbul's European side. The fashion boutiques and cafés of Nişantaşı, the office blocks and transport links of Mecidiyeköy, and the Bomonti area, which grew around a converted former brewery, show its different faces. Osmanbey, known for its textile workshops, and largely residential Feriköy also belong to Şişli, and the district has many city hotels and congress venues.
A transfer from Sabiha Gökçen to Şişli crosses the Bosphorus by bridge to reach the European side. Hotels and offices in Şişli are mostly on busy streets, so adding the building name and street to your booking helps your driver find a suitable place to stop. When planning your arrival and departure, keep in mind that Istanbul Airport on the European side is also an option.
