Beyoğlu Trip Overview
Exploring a city by walking is an intimate way of getting to know it, and there is no better way to learn about the Karaköy Jewish District than to the walk around it. You will go on a group walking tour around modern day Galata and be charmed by its colorful streets, all while learning about daily life over there as you walk by the Jewish Apartments. You will also walk up and down the famed Camondo Steps, an architectural marvel constructed using a quirky combination of Art Noveau and Neo-Baroque artistic styles. Be regaled by the stories and commentary of a fun and knowledgeable English-speaking guide, especially when you drop by the Jewish Museum where you will learn about the culture and history of Jewish Turks.
