Travel Reference
In-Depth Information
» Fish sandwiches The city's signature fast-food treat is best enjoyed with crowds of loc-
als at the Eminönü ferry docks.
» Nargile Follow the evocative scent of apple tobacco to discover busy nargile (water
pipe) cafes underneath the Galata Bridge or along Divan Yolu Caddesi.
Getting There & Away
» Bus To get here from Taksim Meydanı (Taksim Square), take bus 46H or 61B. Both
travel along Atatürk Bulvarı, stopping at the corner of Ordu Caddesi and then continuing
through Laleli on to Beyazıt Meydanı next to the Grand Bazaar.
» Tram The neighbourhood is sliced into north and south by Ordu Caddesi, the western
continuation of Divan Yolu Caddesi. The tram from Bağcılar to Kabataş runs along this
major road, passing through Aksaray, past the Grand Bazaar, across Sultanahmet and then
down the hill to Eminönü, where the Spice Bazaar is located.
Lonely Planet's Top Tip
If you are walking to the Grand Bazaar from Sultanhamet, you can avoid the traffic and touts along
Divan Yolu Caddesi by instead heading up Yerebatan Caddesi, left into Nuruosmaniye Caddesi,
across Cağaloğlu Meydanı, along pedestrianised Nuruosmaniye Caddesi and across Vezir Han Cad-
desi towards the Nuruosmaniye Mosque.
