Local Tips

·Mecidiyeköy is one of Istanbul's major transit junctions — the M2 and M7 metro lines meet here, alongside the metrobus and a big bus hub.
·Primarily a commercial and transit district — not a leisure destination.
·The side streets away from the main road have surprisingly good local food at low prices.
·Şişli (one metro stop south) has more character; Levent (north) has the business towers.
