Cihangir & Çukurcuma: Bohemian Istanbul

Discover Istanbul’s most bohemian neighborhoods. From Cihangir’s cafés to Çukurcuma’s antique shops, from literary history to street cats — this tour reflects the city’s creative spirit. Cihangir has long been home to artists, writers, and filmmakers. You’ll wander the streets of Çukurcuma, where Orhan Pamuk’s Museum of Innocence is located, and step back in time in antique shops. Can Bey knows the story behind every café — which writer wrote a novel in which one, and which street was used in which film. Istanbul’s cat culture is also part of the tour — Cihangir’s cats are world-famous. The tour ends with cake and coffee at a legendary pastry shop in Firuzağa.
