Beyoğlu Audio Tour: Spires, Squares & Stories of Istanbul
On these Beyoğlu streets, empires lost their grip while neon lit up old stone, and Galata Tower kept watch like a silent rival to the skyline. This self guided audio tour leads from Taksim Meydanı through Beyoğlu to Galata Tower and beyond, unlocking rebellions, scandals, political battles, and forgotten moments most visitors walk past without noticing. What erupted in Taksim when crowds turned a square into a battlefield and the city held its breath. What secret messages and vanished suspects once haunted the tower and its shadowed lanes. Why did a single song in Beyoğlu spark a scandal so specific it changed who could perform, where, and at what hour. Move downhill through back streets and grand avenues, following echoes of power, danger, and desire. Each stop reframes Istanbul with sharper edges and brighter light. Press play and let the watchful tower pull the city open.
