Oh, how much I have longed for the normal atmosphere and life of Istanbul in these quiet times of the pandemic! And how often in my mind I have wandered in these places that I love and that are usually bursting with life, music and dancing. Namely, when you walk the streets of Istanbul or use public transport, there is really no way you can not come across street artists…

So now I want to share these atmospheres with you. The videos start from Kadıköy and end in Beyoğlu and Taksim. You’ll also see a wide variety of different happenings and everything in between. That is why it’s certain that Istanbul will seduce you. Istanbul has it all.

The most culturally diverse areas are Kadıköy and Moda on the Asian side, which you can see on these videos. They are extremely vibrant art districts in the city – perhaps my favorite areas of Istanbul! Some of the videos are from the city’s subways, others from the Bosphorus ferries travelling from Europe to Asia. Some of the videos also depict the numerous street artists performing on the famous 1.5 kilometers long pedestrianised İstiklal Street (İstiklal Caddesi), located on the European side in Beyoğlu.

So welcome to enjoy the incredibly lively and varied street life of Istanbul!
