"In development for several years, this much-anticipated social and culture destination is finally debuting in October and will anchor the waterfront in the Karakoy district. Design sights include the world’s first underground cruise ship terminal, museums, and a collection of restaurants and stores located in former warehouses that have been reimagined into modern spaces."

"Galataport, which is on the European side of the Bosphorus. For those who aren't aware, the Bosphorus basically divides Europe and Asia, so you can switch between continents when you're in the city, which is a novelty that has never gotten old for me. But Galataport has been a long time coming and it is a huge social, cultural, leisure area on the waterfront near Karaköy, which is a super cool neighborhood. The reason why it's got so developed is because it is going to be the new cruise terminal, so for anyone who is planning on cruising through Europe or the Middle East, chances are you might be passing through Galataport next year and beyond. But it's also the site of the new Renzo Piano–designed Istanbul Modern museum, which is the major contemporary art museum in Istanbul, which I've always loved and I think is fantastic and I'm very excited to see the new space."

A beautiful place to walk down with a great selection of restaurants. It’s also a great place to watch the sunset and view the European side of Istanbul from. Definitely a touristy place but one that’s worth visiting.

+/- Very nice place to visit and spend some time in cafe. But when there are no cruise liners, due to the view to the sea can be limited at that time. There is an underground parking, a lot of cafe, bars and restaurants, you can buy goods, closes and souvenirs. May go to the promenade, or seat near the sea with incredible view

This beautifully designed port, crafted to welcome large cruise ships, leaves a lasting impression with its unique architectural style. The view of the waterway is breathtaking, both in the morning with its serene atmosphere and at night when it transforms into a magical scene. The port is home to some of the most prestigious and renowned restaurants, making it the perfect destination for those seeking luxury and exceptional culinary experiences. Galataport also hosts a variety of high-end international boutiques, offering an unparalleled shopping experience. If you're in Istanbul, I highly recommend visiting Galataport for its elegance, sophistication, and the sheer beauty of its surroundings.

A modern place in the heart of Istanbul. You can easily reach there from Taksim with Füniküler to Kabataş then walk from there to Galataport. You cam also walk through istiklal street towards Galataport and enjoy the vibe and atmosphere. There are many brands you can shop and eat.
