★ Nostalgic tram — The red 1914 tram still runs the length of İstiklal — Istanbul's most photographed vehicle.
★ Taksim Mosque — The square's monumental 2021 mosque holds 4,000 worshippers behind a facade of modern Ottoman lines.
★ Beyoğlu arcades — Çiçek Pasajı's meyhanes, the Balık Pazarı fish market and Europe's oldest arcades open off İstiklal.
