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

An interesting museum contains an extensive collection of Jewish religious items, old newspapers and household items. Friendly staff. Most of the exhibits have English translations. A passport or ID is required upon entry. Ticket price is 400 ₺

I learned a lot here and like the displays here very much. I'd tell you about them, but I don't think Google Maps is allowing me to post anymore. Some crazy algorithm or something. Maybe I'm the one who's crazy.

It’s quite nice place to visit and it’s generally informative. However, entering this museum is very hectic and isn’t a pleasant experience..! You have to hand your ID, get searched with metal detectors as if you are entering an airport.. then a huge, black steel door is opened.. to be honest, that was a little creepy..! But once you get through this unpleasant journey, you can find a lot of interesting and informative exhibits. Note: it’s quite a small museum.

Excellent museum on the history of Sephardic Jews in the Ottoman Empire and the Turkish Republic. Access to the Neve Shalom synagogue is included with the ticket. If visiting, make sure to bring your passport or other official identification. Tickets are 250 ₺ (regular) and 125 ₺ (students).

Splendid place. Entrance fee was 120 TRY, you can purchase a keyring aswell. You are allowed to take photographs in the Museum and the Synagogue. There were airport-like security checks at the entrance. Museum was extremely informative and the Synagogue was very pleasant. Overall highly recommended, a must-visit.

Interesting, detailed exhibits and information about Jewish people in Turkey. Also includes a visit to the beautiful, large synagogue in the building.

Entry/cost: not free but 300tly as of dec-24 which should be corrected on Google maps Exhibition: more context would be nice as a lot of documents are not translated / no additional info provided Museum: well curated with a good structure, easy to follow, interesting and insightful and a nice view of synagogue which is a lovely extra. Other: staff are nice and toilet are clean. Also not busy and well located
