İstanbul: events & what to see — then walk it in 3D
İstanbul in the 3D recreation — a real screenshot from the game.
Istanbul's Historic Peninsula is where Byzantium and the Ottoman capital overlap. Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque face each other across Sultanahmet Square, Topkapı Palace crowns the point, and the Grand Bazaar sprawls below Süleymaniye.
The 3D Historic Peninsula stands on real street data, with the great mosques, Topkapı and the bazaar as hero landmarks. The taxi game (press T while driving) runs these streets. Cafés here serve çay and simit, and the locals talk football and ferries.
📐 The 3D İstanbul is built at 1:1 scale from 42,099 real building footprints and 721 km of mapped streets and paths, across roughly 8.2 × 5.9 km. 15,729 places carry their real names, including 5,975 shops, 3,595 restaurants & cafés, 1,291 hotels, 1,043 offices.
Inside, restaurants, cafés, bars, hotels and shops look like what they are. You can order at the counter, sit down, jump, and chat with locals who talk about İstanbul itself. Use the 📍 Share button in the game to copy a link to wherever you're standing.
Getting there in real life
The T1 tram stops at Sultanahmet, beside Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque, and at Beyazıt for the Grand Bazaar. Ferries to Üsküdar and Kadıköy leave from Eminönü.
