Welcome to Istanbul new district! The new district covers the area from Karaköy to Taksim Square, a few block up the hill. In Byzantium times, this area was inhabited by the commercial colonies of Geneose and Venetian settlers. In the late Ottoman era, it was also a residental area for non-Muslims, including Jews, Catholics, and Eastern Orthodox Christians. Today, this part of the city is dominated by the famous Galata Tower. Taksim Square is the New District's transportation hub, connected to other parts of Istanbul by bus, Metro, funicular and "nostalgic tram".
