Overview luxury shopping in Istanbul
There are three luxury shopping malls in Istanbul. One on the Asian side and two on the European side. In addition, there is the fashion district of Istanbul.
- Emaar Square shopping mall
- Zorlu Center shopping mall
- Istinye Park shopping mall
- Nişantaşı – fashion district of Istanbul
Each of these places offer both high-end and regular brands.
There are metro stations very close to Nişantaşı and Zorlu Center. Istinye Park is a 15-minute walk and Emaar Square a 20-minute walk from the closest metro stations.
1) Emaar Square shopping mall
First up is Emaar Square shopping mall in Istanbul on the Asian side.
In my opinion, this is the most luxurious shopping mall in Istanbul.
On the top floor, you’ll find all the well-known luxury brands. It is also the largest shopping mall in Turkey with over 400 stores spread across six floors.
Note, all shopping malls in Istanbul are open daily from 10am till 10pm.
2) Zorlu Center shopping mall
Next is Zorlu Center shopping mall on the European side of Istanbul.
This is one of the most expensive places in Istanbul.
The top floor is dedicated to luxury brands. The lower floors feature a wide range of other stores.
This is the smallest shopping mall on our list with 180 stores.
3) Istinye Park shopping mall
Further north on the European side is Istinye Park shopping mall.
Like the others, the top floor is home to all the well-known luxury brands. Here, you can also see many super cars.
This shopping mall is also huge, with over 300 shops in total.
Keep in mind, shopping malls in Istanbul are very popular by locals on Sundays and rainy days.
4) Nişantaşı – fashion district of Istanbul
Last on this list is Nişantaşı. This is Istanbul’s fashion district.
On Abdi Ipekçi street, you’ll find all the luxury brands.
However, Nişantaşı is also very well-known for high-end boutique stores.
Most stores in Nişantaşı close between 7 and 8pm.
