Detailed Description: Our Europe and Asia Walking Tour is a great way to see both sides of Istanbul. We begin on the European side in Karaköy, a historic area with a mix of old and new, known for its street art, local eateries, and lively atmosphere. From there, we walk up to the Galata district, where you can see the famous Galata Tower and wander through its narrow, cobblestone streets filled with shops and cafes. We continue to Taksim, a bustling center known for its shops, restaurants, and the lively Istiklal Street.
After exploring these neighborhoods, we hop on a ferry to cross the Bosphorus, giving you a chance to see Istanbul from the water. The ferry ride offers great views and a fun way to travel from Europe to Asia. Once we arrive in Kadikoy, you’ll experience a different side of the city.
