Drop-off in Taksim
Coming from the Asian shore, Taksim is the first big square you reach once the European-side traffic sorts itself out above Beşiktaş. It is a transport hub as much as a sight: the M2 metro, the funicular down to Kabataş and the start of İstiklal Avenue all meet here.
Cihangir and the streets behind the square are steep and one-way in places. Send the full hotel address, not just "Taksim", and the driver plans the last turn before reaching the square. For a flat on İstiklal itself, tell us the nearest corner a car can reach.
