Galata, with its steep cobbled streets, stone buildings and history reaching back to a Genoese trading colony, is one of the most photogenic corners of Beyoğlu. Its emblem, the Galata Tower, has stood since 1348 and offers a single panorama that takes in the Bosphorus, the Golden Horn and the Historic Peninsula. Around the tower, Serdar-ı Ekrem Street has become a contemporary showcase of independent designers, small galleries and concept shops.

The streets sloping downhill bring together the instrument shops of Galip Dede Avenue, the whirling-dervish courtyard of the Galata Mevlevi Lodge Museum, and third-wave cafés tucked into restored Genoese buildings. The Camondo Stairs spill down toward Karaköy and the Bosphorus shore in just a few minutes. Galata is one of those rare neighbourhoods where antique and contemporary design stand side by side on the same street.
