Forum Istanbul is less a mall than a complex: two hundred and fifty shops, plus an aquarium, a Madame Tussauds, a snow park and a cinema, all under one roof in Bayrampasa.
Turkuazoo is the reason most visitors make the trip. It was Turkey’s first public aquarium and its main tunnel runs through a tank holding sharks and rays. Combined tickets for several attractions are sold at the entrance.
Open daily 10:00 to 22:00, with the M1 metro stopping directly outside.
From Romance Istanbul Hotel take the tram to Aksaray and change to the M1 line; allow about forty-five minutes.
