Naval Museum Istanbul
Largest maritime museum
Zekeriya from Istanbul
This museum was recently reopened on the 4th of October 2013 and moved into a totally new modern building. It's one of the best museums in Turkey for those interested in maritime. Of course we are lucky to have it in İstanbul.
They have a variety of unique pieces, almost 20.000, and I think it's one of the world's most exceptional museums. The museum was originally established in 1897 and since then it has been one of the highlighted attractions for all.
The museum displays boats of the sultanate, naval uniforms, handwritten works, ship models, naval, maps, banners, galleys, sailing tools, figureheads and guns. Especially the museum shop has lovely stuff that you can take back home.

Taksim Tünel Tramvay
Nostalgic Red Tram Ride
My suggestion is to take the route from Taksim Square to Tünel and continue exploring nice neighborhoods like Çukurcuma, Asmalı Mescit, or Galata.

Nørre Coffee Shop
Nordic Style in Istanbul
This Scandivanian-style, two-floor café has a simple yet tastefully decorated interior. And the small open kitchen adds a touch of warmth and authenticity.
