It's a very cool place!! a full-fledged cultural center. a large library, lots of tables, silence. There is a restaurant. antique stairs and flights. It's just beautiful here, with lots of space and amenities for people. you can even see exhibitions here, there is a separate room for this. I would have come back here for a long time.

It's a very cool place, first of all, it's located next to the famous staircase, we took a picture of it and went straight inside. After long walks around the city, there is a free clean toilet, a view of the city, as well as in the library, in the farthest corner there are soft ottomans on which you can lie down. In addition, it can be combined with watching books, they are all in foreign languages, mostly in Turkish, but most of them are with pictures, including very rare beautiful books.

It's an incredibly beautiful building, and we got here by accident. As we wrote in one of the reviews above, we took the elevator to the 4th floor, which offers a beautiful view of the city, and from where we were politely told to go to the floors below. It's super atmospheric to walk down the beautiful parquet floor and see how the old building combines with the modern coworking space. On the 1st floor there is a small museum dedicated to the bank and an exhibition about an old Turkish film. On the 1st floor there is a bookstore, a restaurant and a coworking space. You can buy a Turkish magazine about art/ architecture, there is a large selection. You can purchase the Soli magazine, which is very beautiful, with the subtleties of local life (750 lire). I advise you to visit!

There is nothing for a simple visitor. Relatively for the photos they write about in the reviews. I don't recommend going on purpose. There is no access to the panorama of the city.

Only the 1st and -1 floors were open. We visited the bank's library and museum. Very atmospheric, quiet unlike the surrounding streets. As part of the route near the Galata Tower - quite. Especially free access

It's a quiet place. It is better to take the elevator (to the left of the stairs) to the top and from there go down the stairs, looking at the floors. There is a small museum, I didn't understand much, a library, a cafe, a very stylish bathroom with a burning candle. The building closes at 7 p.m.

Few people will tell you about interesting and, most importantly, free places in Istanbul, but I will. Not only is this place free to visit, it's a gorgeous Instagram location for stunning photos. At the entrance, you will be politely asked to pass through the metal detector frame and will be told that shooting with a professional camera is prohibited, but on any smartphone welcome And then there are a lot of view terraces, a wonderful library, halls for workshops, workshops and lectures, a wonderful cafe, a restaurant, a free coworking space and all this in the very center. And if you live here or know languages well, I think this place will also help in your professional activities.

A beautiful and historical place. There is a cafe, a library, and a museum. It's mostly offices, but it's an interesting location nonetheless. It's just a pity we couldn't get into the museum, it was closed on Sunday, and it's a great place to study and read.

It's a very atmospheric place with interesting small art objects. And it is wonderful that there are people who do not let history perish (the building of the former Ottoman bank) and give new life in a new reading.

First of all, this is the building of the first Ottoman bank and there is a lot of interesting information on this topic below. Secondly, the entrance is free, and the view is fantastic. The architecture is impressive, and on the 1st floor there is a cafe from Neolokal during the day, at very humane prices you can eat kefte or manti from top-class professionals in their field.

An interesting place. Very stylish coworking. The terrace is beautiful. And there is also a cafeteria where I ate very cheap prices for almost $ 10: a huge cup of muesli with Greek yogurt, a sandwich, coffee and water. It is ideal for inexpensive but delicious breakfasts. And the guard took a nice picture 😆

It is amazing how organically noble historical staircases, railings and luxurious facades of the XIX century are combined with crazy conceptual expositions and workshops. Free and hospitable. The functional coworking area has comfortable chairs and tables, unlimited water.

It's a wonderful place. Previously, it was an old bank building, but now it has a money vault. Now it is a cultural center with a library and art spaces. And on the top floor there is an oval window with a stunning view of Istanbul.

The main thing is to arrive at exactly 11 a.m. before social media-kiss. I'm like a social media tiger, I came with my tigress and we took a hard picture on the stairs and railings. You can't post such photos here, so there will just be a railing.

Unfortunately, I didn't have time to go inside, but as I passed by, I was hoping to see the crew of the Turkish TV series "Cranberry Sherbet", as I found information that they shoot here on Mondays. But apparently she got to the end of the season and took a break from filming . 🙈
