Çukurcuma, an up and coming neighborhood tucked between Cihangir and Galatasaray is famous for its antique stores. This quirky neighborhood is fun to explore with its windy streets that lead one to another, stairs and small hills, and an antique shop on every corner.

It is very common to see the shop owners displaying their antiques outside their stores, but don’t hesitate to go inside, you will see amazing collections of objects dating back multiple decades.

One of its famous landmarks is the Museum of Innocence, the only museum in the world based on a novel, by the Nobel-prize winner Orhan Pamuk.
