Pera is the historic name for the upper part of Beyoğlu, on the hill above Galata and Karaköy. In the 19th century the Grande Rue de Pera (today İstiklal Avenue) was lined with embassies, and the Pera Palace opened for passengers of the Orient Express. If you are staying in Laleli, Beyazıt, Sultanahmet or Çemberlitaş, this is across the Golden Horn, not next door. We list 15 places in Pera and nearby Şişhane, Galata, Tophane, Karaköy and Kasımpaşa. They include traditional hamams such as Çukurcuma Hamamı 1831, the hotel-based Pera Hammam Spa at Ramada by Wyndham, Taksim-side hamams and massage spas. Each venue page gives its prices and conditions with the date they were checked.

From Sultanahmet, Çemberlitaş, Beyazıt or Laleli there are two practical routes to Pera. One is the T1 tram (towards Kabataş) to Karaköy or Tophane, which are in the lower part of the district, so you walk uphill to reach Pera. The other is Metro M2 (Yenikapı–Hacıosman) to Şişhane or Taksim. You can board the M2 at Yenikapı, which Marmaray reaches from Sirkeci, or at Vezneciler-İstanbul Ü. near Beyazıt. T1 also runs from Eminönü to Karaköy. From Sabiha Gökçen (SAW), the Havabüs goes to Taksim. From Istanbul Airport (IST), Havaist runs to Aksaray, Beyazıt and Sultanahmet, where you can pick up the T1.
