Cicek Pasaji (Flower Passage)
  • Admission is free, although one of the best ways to experience the Old World vibe is by grabbing a meal or drink at one of the on-site bars or restaurants.

  • The building is called Cité de Pera—City of Pera, in French—and that’s the name you’ll find inscribed above the grandiose entranceway. But because of the arcade’s floral history, the Flower Passage nickname has still stuck, despite there being no flower-sellers currently and it being more than a century since the original ones set up shop.

  • For the whole Cicek Pasaji experience, visit at different times of day and evening. During the day, light streams in from the restored ceiling of the arcade, and you’ll find a more peaceful ambiance. By night, live music, a buzzy crowd, and colorful lights make this a great place to experience Istanbul’s 24-hour culture, especially in summer.
