İstanbul’s iconic Taksim Square had its fair share of cultural centres but the reopening of the historic Atatürk Cultural Centre on October 29 Turkish Republic Day elevated the arts and culture scene in the area to the max. With its Gallery of 400 square metres, Multipurpose Hall, 2040-seater Opera Hall, and 802-seater Theatre Hall, Atatürk Cultural Centre started from day one to provide ample opportunity for exploring the finest performance art around the city.
Galataport İstanbul is a major waterfront development project covering a length of 1.2 kilometers of coastline on the Bosphorus. Galataport İstanbul will be the new landmark of the Bosphorus’ shore so that modern travelers come to see not only Hagia Sophia Mosque or the Blue Mosque but also experience a new neighborhood dedicated to culture, art, design, new-generation shopping and gastronomy. Galataport İstanbul is projected to host 1.5 million cruise passengers including the crew, seven million tourists and 25 million visitors per year. Besides, guests who arrive at the city via İstanbul Airport have the opportunity to continue their journey through the TurkAegean with the cruise ships at Galataport.
