    Where to stay

    Neighborhood guide

    Şişli is a district on the European side of Istanbul north of the historic peninsula, and is largely commercial and residential rather than historic. It includes the Nişantaşı quarter, the city's principal upmarket shopping area, and reaches toward the business towers of Levent.

    What to see

    Timed to the light

    The district is modern Istanbul rather than Ottoman, and Nişantaşı's streets are its most characterful part. Taksim Square and the İstiklal Avenue pedestrian street are on its southern edge, and the historic peninsula with Hagia Sophia and the bazaars is a short metro ride further.
