@turkeytravelplanner: Beyoğlu is one of the best areas to stay in Istanbul if you want a more local and well-rounded experience. Beyoglu has tourist sites—just across the Golden Horn from Sultanahmet—but feels more lived-in and less touristy. Neighborhoods like Cihangir, Galata, and Karaköy offer great food, independent shops, and easy access to public transport. You’ll find everything from small cafes to rooftop bars, and it’s walkable to places like Istiklal Street, Taksim, and even ferry terminals. #Beyoglu #IstanbulTravel #WhereToStay #LocalExperience #TurkeyTravel #IstanbulTips #FoodAndCulture #citytravel

I just came back from Istanbul and I stayed at near Taksim square - Beyoglu. It was nice and near to the restaurants and other stuffs. However, they somehow gave me unreasonable prices for taxi prices. Also, for the public transport, I tried tramps but it stopped at the down and you need to climb upstairs to the taksim square. It was exhausting. Better options were buses. Otherwise, I love Istanbul! Especially, their foods are amazing. Now I am back to London with heavy rains. 😂😂

Between this and Sultanahmet, which is better for first time tourists who don't wanna get scammed but still want to experience the "authentic" side of Turkey?

It’s the perfect neighborhood in Istanbul, but as you said it’s hilly , the roads can be so steep that you run out of breath, if you have stamina ….. it’s perfect!
