İstiklal Caddesi Türkiye Last Updated: 07/14/2025 |
| The two-mile pedestrian boulevard is a must-see for any visitor to İstanbul. Formerly known as Grande Rue de Péra, the street was renamed İstiklal Caddesi or Independence Avenue in 1923. The bustling street is lined with late Ottoman-era buildings built in a variety of architectural styles, from neoclassicism to art deco. | |
| The façade of the turn-of-the-century European-style boulevard is well preserved, and the shops and restaurants that line the promenade are a treat for visitors and locals for a feast of shopping till you drop, recharging at the numerous culinary delights offered by cafes and restaurants large and small. | |
