Walks in Kurtuluş.

One editor-picked walk through Kurtuluş, plus nearby routes for the same morning if you want to keep going.

Greek and Armenian until the 20th century emptied it; the architectural ghost on Belle Époque facades.

Other walks close to Kurtuluş.

Sorted by distance from the start of kurtuluş: the quarter that was tatavla. Good for stitching together a longer day.

Upmarket Istanbul's boutique streets and the modest Şişli apartment where Atatürk planned the Samsun landing.

Skip the tourist spine. The real Beyoğlu is one street over — antique shops, passages, and the view from the tower.

Pera Palace, the Orient Express era, embassies, and the Crimean Memorial Church — old Europe in Istanbul.

Two ferries, a palace, and a seafront walk that ends with a view of the bridge framing a mosque dome.
