Champions League Final | Ticket Criteria | SOLD OUT

Looks like there’s fuck all there, bar a massive transport hub, exactly where they want us to be and go.

A mass rapid transit terminus is located underground at the Yenikapi Transfer Center. The extensive excavations required for the project caused a delay in development. The new Yenikapi terminal serves as an interchange for the Ataturk Airport metro (M1), Istanbul Metro (M2), and the new Marmaray railway link, which connects Istanbul's Asian and European sides via a new tunnel under the Bosphorus.

Yenikapi, one of Istanbul's major ports that connects the two sides of the city via ferry lines, should also be mentioned.

While in Yenikapi, there are a lot of things to do, there are also some intriguing things to check out.

One of the interesting attractions close to Yenikapi is the Suleymaniye Mosque, which is situated on Istanbul's third hill and was built at Suleiman the Magnificent's request and designed by the imperial architect Mimar Sinan. On three marble panels, the Arabic foundation inscription is etched in Thuluth script above the mosque's north portal. The mosque's interior resembles a square in shape. Semi-domes on either side of the dome, as well as arches with Tympana-filled windows on the north and south, surround it. The mosque boasts beautiful architecture that is worth seeing.

If you enjoy history, you might also want to check out the Hagia Sophia and the Sultanahmet neighborhood. Hagia Sophia was formerly the Patriarchal Cathedral of the Greek Orthodox Christian faith, and it is now a museum. The construction of the walls of Hagia Sophia actually weakened the overall structure, whereas the minarets were an Ottoman addition and not a part of the original Byzantine design; they were constructed for notification of invitations to prayers and announcements. The dome design stabilizes the dome and the surrounding walls and arches.

Following your tour of the Hagia Sophia's interior, you can stroll along the surrounding paths, sit in the gardens, and enjoy a lovely view of the neighborhood.

If you're looking for a place to shop close to Yenikapi, you might wish to visit the Spice Bazaar in Eminonu to look for spices or old items. Additionally, there is the renowned Mehmet Efendi Kahveci, one of Istanbul's oldest coffee houses, which is known for its delicious Turkish coffee and freshly ground coffee beans. Inside, you can see the employees making your coffee while receiving first-rate service

Absolutely shocking and I feel for you. If you have got flights and hotels booked, still contemplate going and spend the night in Taksim and watch in a bar. For sure you will see the game together, you'll still be able to say you went to Istanbul and also have a memory. In your situation I wouldn't fancy enduring that stadium and fan zone experience with children, even if our seats were guaranteed to be together. It will just be thousands of fans, nowhere to sit, no shelter from the sun, overflowing portaloos, and expensive food and drink, and that's before a shite view of the match! In fact even as I write this, I'm convincing myself to not bother buying a match ticket and just have a great day in Taksim instead.
