BEYOGLU, ISTANBUL

  THE EUROPEAN "NEW TOWN" ACROSS THE GOLDEN HORN


In 19th-century,  a traditional tram trundled along the Grande Rue de Pera connecting Taksim Square Glatasaray and Tunel Square.  

The tram was taken out of service in 1961, replaced by buses.

After Pera became Istiklal Caddesi, a pedestrian zone, the Nostalgic Tram was restored and revived in 1990.
