City’s Nisantasi
City’s Nisantasi shopping center, is located on the street of Tesvikiye that is the heart of retail shopping in the luxurious district of NISANTASI in Istanbul.
Nisantasi is the center of fashion in Turkey and the most prestigious national and international trademarks can be found in the district.
Nisantasi is one of the most historical districts of Istanbul and it has been a district where the most elite people lived throughout its history. The development of the district starts when Sultan Selim the 3rd builds an archery drilling area (deep effects of European point of view could be observed on the Sultan).
During the last period of 18th century, Abdülhamit the 1st chose Nisantasi for the wedding ceremonies of his sisters which lasted two weeks. The close location of the district to the palaces of Dolmabahçe and Yildiz, the effect of Pera culture, dwellers of many international perspectives and high purchasing power made Nisantasi a lively and cosmopolitan district.

Every time I visit Cities its empty. are they doing any business.
I do like the restaurant upstairs “It’s a Joke” which seems allways crowded.
True that it’s mostly empty and I believe most of the stores are hardly making the ends meet. There is a rumor that the mall is going to be shut down at the end of the year and converted into a hotel.
I like to shop in Citys, and there location in Nisantasi is perfect.
You should try the Fish restaurant on 4 th floorr nishfish
I like the Citylife movie theater. It’s clean and very nice.
The world from Istanbul to the brand’s advertising was undertaken locations.
Just returned from istanbul yesturday, great city, had a lovely time stayed at the swiss hotel. I also paid a visit to City’s in Nisantasi. Istanbul has such interesting areas to visit like Nisantasi Bebek and many more but the pavements and roads are terrable and also very embarrasing. They are built so high that you have to jump off of them. Why? and also istanbul has very poor artchitecture lots of ugly buildings and very poorly built. Mentally and attitudes of turks must change if you want to be a world class city. These companies that build these buildings and roads, you must embarris them on your tv stations and newspapers its the only way you can win. Tourist are laughing at the state of turkeys pavements and buildings. Good Luck Istanbul.
