Eminönü, Commercial waterfront neighborhood at Golden Horn confluence, Istanbul, Turkey.

The district contains essential landmarks including the New Mosque, Spice Bazaar, and numerous stone buildings along the waterfront area of Istanbul.

The area functioned as a Maritime Customs center during Ottoman times, with its name deriving from emin meaning superintendent and önü meaning in front.

Streets and alleyways contain traditional tea houses, local merchants, spice sellers, and multiple ferry terminals connecting different parts of Istanbul.

The neighborhood connects to other parts of Istanbul through the T1 tram line, ferry services, and walking paths across the Galata Bridge.

Despite having only 55,000 permanent residents, this commercial district receives over 2 million daily visitors exploring its markets and monuments.
