Everything You Need to Know About Nisantasi
Nişantaşı is a residential and shopping quarter in the Şişli district — the side of Istanbul known for its shop windows rather than its monuments. Its main axis is Abdi İpekçi Caddesi, lined with international fashion houses and designer stores. Teşvikiye Mosque stands at the centre of the neighbourhood, with the City's Nişantaşı shopping centre beside it. Most visitors come for the shopping, the cafés and the restaurants; if museums and historic buildings are on your list, you will still need a separate trip to the historic peninsula.
Istanbul Airport to Nişantaşı is roughly 44 km and about 48 minutes in normal traffic. Because the neighbourhood sits immediately beside the city's central business district, at peak hours the last few kilometres can become the longest part of the journey. Flights arriving at Sabiha Gökçen mean a Bosphorus crossing, as Nişantaşı is on the European side, and a correspondingly longer drive.
The real issue in Nişantaşı is not the distance but the parking. There are paid car parks on and around the main street, yet a free space is hard to find at most hours of the day, and a number of the side streets are narrow and one-way. Our driver pulls up at the hotel or residence entrance, though at busy times unloading may be limited to a couple of minutes. Give us the building number along with the street name and the driver can come straight to the door. The nearest metro station is Osmanbey on the M2 line, a short walk from the Teşvikiye side.
