A very Special Journey through the Turkish Metropolis of Istanbul

Here is a special travel tip for Istanbul: Taking a journey on the historical T2 tram line! The antique, one hundred year old carriages are really something to behold. While aboard you will be able to experience a small but beautiful part of the Turkish city.
The 1.8 kilometer long route goes along the İstiklal Caddesi, the independence street. This offers many sights, such as the Pera Palace Hotel. It was in this luxury hotel that famous celebrity passengers from the Orient Express would spend the night, including Jackie Kennedy, Alfred Hitchcock, and Greta Garbo.
Another must-see is the famous flower passage at the Galatasaray Square, where you can taste some Turkish cuisine. The journey ends at the centrally located Taksim Square, which is known for its vibrant night life.
