This live stream looks over Taksim, the central square of Istanbul's European side and one of the busiest meeting points in the city. Watch it to see the flow of people and traffic at street level before you head out, or to follow the city's rhythm across the day.
About Taksim
Taksim sits on a ridge above the Golden Horn, on the European side of Istanbul. It is the modern heart of the city, known for its wide square, the Republic Monument, the pedestrian avenue of İstiklal Street and a dense mix of hotels, cafés, shops and theatres. The area is connected to the older historic peninsula by funicular and tram lines, which makes it a natural base for visitors exploring both sides of the city.
What the camera shows
The title names Taksim, so the view is centred on the square and the streets that feed into it. Depending on the angle, you may see crowds moving along the main thoroughfares, buses and taxis circling the plaza, and the lights of the surrounding buildings after dark. Activity tends to peak in the late afternoon and evening, and weekends and public holidays are usually the busiest times.
Planning a visit
Istanbul has a temperate climate with hot, dry summers and cool, wet winters, and spring and autumn are generally the most comfortable seasons for walking the hills. Taksim is easy to reach by metro and tram, and nearby cameras on this site cover Beyazıt Tower, Pierre Loti, Büyük Çamlıca and Anadolu Hisarı, which can help you plan a wider route across the city.
