District guide · Istanbul
Beyoğlu lies on the European side of Istanbul, separated from the old city by the Golden Horn, and serves as a district of diverse cultural institutions. The Galata Kulesi and Taksim Meydanı stand as historical landmarks, while the Rahmi M. Koç Müzesi and İstanbul Modern Sanat Müzesi house collections of note. The district contains religious sites, museums, and transport connections to other parts of the city and outlying islands.
