10 Offbeat Things to Do in Istanbul (Updated 2025)
"The Museum of Turkish Jews traces the long Jewish presence in Turkey and helps illustrate the community's contributions and struggles; it's a useful stop if you want to explore Istanbul's Jewish history, and it features in Jewish-heritage walking tours of Galata and Balat. The museum is in Bereketzade Mahallesi, open Sunday–Thursday 10am–5pm and Fridays 10am–1pm (closed Saturdays), admission is free (donations encouraged), and passport or official ID is required for entry." - Matthew Kepnes
