Taksim is the main square of Istanbul's European side, north of the Golden Horn, in the Beyoğlu district. Istiklal Avenue, the long pedestrian street, starts here, with Cihangir, Harbiye and Tophane close by. It is not the old-bath part of the city: the big historic hamams are mostly on the historic peninsula, in Sultanahmet and Çemberlitaş. In and around Taksim you will more often find smaller hamams, hotel spas and massage studios. This site lists 28 places for the area, including Çukurcuma Hamamı 1831, Ağa Hamamı, Zen SPA at the Ramada Hotel and Athena Massage & Spa. If you are staying in Taksim, something nearby is the easy choice. If you want a classic Ottoman-style bath, see our Laleli, Beyazıt, Sultanahmet and Çemberlitaş section, which is a short metro or tram ride away.

Going the other way, M2 continues from Taksim to Osmanbey, Şişli-Mecidiyeköy and Levent.
