Istanbul Cihangir Neighbourhood Walking Tour | Turkey 12 Sep 2021 | 4K UHD 60FPS

Cihangir is a neighborhood in the Beyoğlu district of Istanbul, Turkey. The neighborhood has many narrow streets, a park, and street cafes. It is located between Taksim Square and Kabataş.

The neighborhood has a bohemian reputation. It is known for its artist, writer, actor, and expatriate population. It was also a stronghold for protesters during the Gezi Park protests.

The neighborhood was named after Şehzade Cihangir when his father had Mimar Sinan built a wooden mosque there, overlooking the Bosphorus to commemorate his death. The neighborhood's name comes from this mosque. Today, the Cihangir Mosque, originally built in 1559 and reconstructed in 1889, can be found in the neighborhood.

In 2012, the British newspaper The Guardian included Cihangir in the list of the five best places in the world to live, next to the Santa Cruz de Tenerife, in Spain; the district of Sankt Pauli, in Hamburg, the north coast of Maui, in Hawaii and Portland, in the state of Oregon (United States).

The name, Cihangir, comes from Suleiman the Magnificent’s son, Cihangir, who favoured the area when it was still a forested hunting ground. After Cihangir’s death, Suleiman commissioned Mimar Sinan to build a wooden mosque that commemorates his son. Rebuilt since, Cihangir Mosque has one of the best views of the Bosphorus. As the influx of Europeans into Istanbul in the late 19th century drove up real estate prices in Pera where the Europeans originally settled, the new arrivals made their base in surrounding areas such as Cihangir. The tradition continues in this residential neighbourhood, and there are just as many expats as artists in newly-renovated apartment blocks with pink, yellow and pale green façades. Apart from galleries (see Cornucopia Gallery Walk: Taksim to Cihangir) there are also many restaurants, bars and cafés serving great coffee, international cuisines and of course, cocktails.

Cihangir’s most famous resident, novelist and Nobel laureate Orhan Pamuk made the neighbourhood his home after spending his childhood in Nişantaşı. His Museum of Innocence, which he established in 2012, displays the real-life artefacts collected by the protagonist and narrator of his 2008 novel of the same name and, in this way, traces the love story of the novel's central characters. The eventual aim of the collection is to grow into an exhibit of everyday life in Istanbul in the second half of the 20th century. The Orhan Kemal Museum celebrates another famous literary figure, Orhan Kemal, at No 30 Akarsu Caddesi. He was most known for his realist novels telling the stories of the poor and disadvantaged in early 20th-century Turkey.

Actors and actresses can be spotted reading scripts at Cihangir’s packed sidewalk patios every afternoon, including at the neighbourhood’s most popular çay bahçesi (tea garden, at the corner of Sıraselviler Caddesi and Akarsu Caddesi). Two establishments share the space here which is full to capacity from about midday until late into the night.
