Sisli District
BÜYÜKDERE CADDESI, SISLI PLAZA


The Sisli district is situated on the European side, on the north side of the Golden Horn, just North of the city center and some metro stops from the Taksim Square. This area is mainly residential with common houses, but also features some brand new skyscrapers, for example one of Europe's tallest residential buildings. We visited it to see how a "normal" and not so touristy neighbourhood of Istanbul looks.
