Free tour in Spanish through the Genoese neighborhood: Galata and Karakoy.

I invite you to explore one of the most interesting neighborhoods in the city. What were the Genoese doing in Constantinople? Why was the Galata neighborhood, crowned by that unique tower, a protagonist in the conquest of the city? Where can you find the best mackerel sandwiches? What are the most famous stairs in the city? Does the street with colorful umbrellas exist?
History of crusaders, Marco Polo and the Silk Road, Don Quixote and Cervantes, the Decree of Granada... is it possible to find all that together in a tour of this incredible city?
Welcome to the Spanish tour of the Genoese neighborhood!

Tips: we will use public transportation, so it is recommended, although not essential, to have an Istanbulkart transportation card.

We will walk through steep and cobbled areas, so appropriate footwear is required.

The tour lasts 2 hours and 30 minutes
Available in Spanish
