Cihangir, Cultural district in Beyoğlu, Turkey

The neighborhood stretches between Taksim Square and Kabataş, featuring narrow streets filled with cafes, galleries, and antique shops along Akarsu Yokuşu Sokağı.

The area received its name from Prince Cihangir, son of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, and served as a hunting ground during the 16th century Ottoman period.

The Museum of Innocence, established by Nobel Prize winner Orhan Pamuk in 2012, presents objects and exhibits depicting Istanbul life in the late 20th century.

The central location provides direct access to public transportation, including trams and buses, connecting visitors to major attractions like Taksim Square and Galata Tower.

The neighborhood maintains a population of street cats, which receive care and attention from local residents as an integral part of the community.
