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 ₺

Good mesuem with info and history about Jewish. It's not huge and no audio guide available but liked it overall. 👍 (P.S. toilets need some renovation).

Very educational museum, I found the exhibits to be easy to comprehend and highly engaging. Great stop on my trip to Istanbul, taught me lots of relevant Jewish and Turkish history.

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.

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.

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.

This was a fascinating museum with so much history of the Turkish Jewish people and Jewish customs. I’ll visit again on my next trip to Istanbul.
