Beautiful square with a huge gate, which is the main entrance of the oldest university in the city, called Istanbul University. Also there's a mosque right next to it, and the square is very big so if you want to have good pictures to Marmara Sea you can come when it's sunset 🌇 It's very beautiful ❤

Very lovely place, though not many seatings to sit down. Its in the immediate vicinity of the Grand Bazaar which makes it a tourist hotspot

If you're planning a trip to Istanbul, I highly recommend checking out Beyazit Square. It's such a lively and bustling area, with plenty of things to see and do. The square itself is beautifully designed, with lots of open spaces where you can sit and relax. It's a great place to people-watch and soak up the local atmosphere.

Great and a must place to visit if in Istanbul. So much history here. The place is buzzing with colors, gems and lively people.

Very beautiful and chill place (at least when I was there) you can go there easy by public transport, there are places around to buy things like clothes or souvenirs

Another beautiful vibrant part off turkey from up class clubs to local shisha bars to the back streets full off food shops and clothes so on and so on. if u dig deep enough u come apon what i can only describe lil africa being from the culture it was a pleasant surprise and even decided to have a familiar local dish for lunch as i just didnt think i would pop up on another area like it in Istanbul which i did not i could be wrong but i did not spot any. all in all its a beautiful accessible place to add to the list if visiting Istanbul

Hard to find words to describe this place. Once upon a time it was a hyppodrome here which was the center of Byzantion life. Today, its the center of Ottoman Türkiye, where you walk thru the park to reach Grand Bazaar and Topkapi Palace of Sultans. The square is alive, full of Ottoman and Byzand atmosphere. Heart of the centre. İstanbul Uni is also nestled in here.

Nice wide open space, surrounded by history has the entrance to the fantastic bazaar. There is also a mosque on the square which means access to toilets.

Gorgeous historical place
