Gezi Hotel Bosphorus

Taksim Square is a lively square in the heart of Istanbul, full of street performers and Instagram-worthy photo opportunities — particularly at the base of the iconic Republic Monument. It makes for a great base from which to explore the historic centre, being within walking distance, or a short ride away on one Istanbul's charming vintage style trams. Istiklal Avenue is particularly noteworth, a lively pedestrian street lined with historic buildings and eateries. Our Gurus' pick of the best hotels in Taksim Square is a lovely sanctuary providing much-needed calm amidst the pulsating life of this bustling part of Istanbul.
