10 Offbeat Things to Do in Istanbul (Updated 2025)

"Inside the Museum of Innocence I encountered Orhan Pamuk's quirky, companion museum to his novel: an apartment-like collection of hundreds of found objects arranged to correspond with chapters of the book that together paint a fascinating picture of upper-class Istanbul life from the 1970s to the early 2000s—even if you haven't read the novel. It's located at Firuzaga, Çukurcuma Caddesi, Dalgiç Çk. No:2, open Tuesday–Sunday 10am–6pm, and admission is 300 TRY (or free if you bring a copy of the book)." - Matthew Kepnes
