Forum Istanbul

Forum Istanbul is a great place to spend a few hours. The mall has a wide range of shops, from well-known international brands to smaller stores, so shopping feels easy and varied. There are plenty of cafés and food spots as well, making it a comfortable place to take breaks, meet friends, or just relax after walking around. One of the biggest highlights for me is the huge IKEA inside the mall. It’s spacious, well-organized, and honestly one of my favorite parts of Forum Istanbul—I could spend hours there without noticing the time. Overall, it’s a convenient, lively mall that combines shopping, food, and one of the best IKEA locations in Istanbul.

Forum Istanbul is a massive shopping and entertainment hub in Bayrampaşa, featuring 280+ stores like IKEA, Zara, and Decathlon. Highlights include SEA LIFE Aquarium with Turkey’s longest ocean tunnel, LEGOLAND, and Cinemaximum. Great for families, but expect weekend crowds and cramped elevators

Okay, plenty of brands and good public transport connections. IKEA and big Carrefour are available. But seriously, where are the benches? There are no benches in the entire mall, only in the food court. This really made me angry when I needed to repack my purchases. Minus 3 stars for this.

Forum Istanbul Mall is one of my go-to spots for shopping and dining. The variety of stores is fantastic, and I always find what I’m looking for, whether it’s fashion, electronics, or more. The restaurants are top-notch, offering a range of high-quality food options that never disappoint. The mall itself is spacious, clean, and well-organized, making every visit a pleasant experience. It’s definitely a top choice for a great day out in the city!

Forum at BeramPasha is not just a mall but the children fun place a nice full of warmth food place with all American brands and hot coffees, Cinemas and IKEA inside. A must place to visit

A spacious and calm mall with a great selection of both local and international brands. The atmosphere is relaxed, making it a pleasant place to shop and explore. I visited in January, so the video includes holiday decorations.

My kids and I like it! There are different brands; clothes, shoes and even well-known restaurants and coffee. The lego land and sea life are great to enjoy with your kids. There is a food court but we prefer to eat in IKEA as it is so close, 2 minutes walking.

What I really appreciate about this mall is the light. The architecture allows for natural light to pass most of the day, which makes (me) for a good time strolling around. Food is good, many good stores, entrance is impressive and you almost go directly inside from the metro station. Sealife aquarium is also there and it's a great place to visit with kids.

If you want to go to shopping mall in Istanbul, this is the place for you. This is a very large shopping mall with all kinds of modern shops, restaurants, bars, and other attractions, like the Sea Life Aquarium. This is where the modern Istanbul shopper comes to shop. Here you will find all kinds of high-end, name-brand stores as well as some of the the more mid-range shopping options. Is there anything really special about The Forum? No, not really. It's just a very Westernized shopping mall. But, we all need to buy that expected kind of stuff sometimes, so this place offers just that. Nothing really cultural, just mainstream items. The one thing about this shopping mall that I like is that there is no smoking permitted inside. As anyone who has ever traveled to Istanbul understands, people are smoking everywhere. Not here. And that, I believe, is a good thing. So, if you want to take a break from the veil of tobacco that covers pretty much all other shopping locations in Istanbul, this is your place to go. They also have a few good casual restaurants and bar located in this mall. There's a few good places to grab that mid-day meal or to just kick back and have a beer. Overall, Forum İstanbul Alışveriş Merkezi serves its purpose very well.

bölgede en ideal yer. ulaşım basit metro var daha ne olsun :) Kocatepe metro istasyonunda inin içeri girin. otopark vs. ücretsiz ayrıca ne ararsan var yalnız haftasonu gidilmesini tavsiye etmem çünkü çok kalabalık ve Arap dolu, nedense Arapların en sık görüldüğü yerler avm şer oldu anlamadım herhalde Yalova depremden sonra buralara kaçtılar. acayipler ya ne gerek var gidin koca istanbul 1 yılda bitmez gez gez gez. kültür işte böyle bir şey.
