A big must-do in Istanbul is to ride the little red historical tram along Taksim Square (the big shopping street). I mean.. if only all public transport was this adorable! 馃殏馃嚬馃嚪
Istanbul, the former capital of Turkey, once had a large tramway network on both the Asian and the European sides. These started as horse trams but gradually changed to electric. Many routes were built step by step, and the network reached its greatest extent in 1956. But as happened in most cities around the world, tram service in Istanbul began to close and was replaced by busses. 馃殞 Trams returned to Istanbul in 1990, with the opening of the Taksim-T眉nel Nostalgia Tramway (the one on the photo).
You can ride this adorable tram for less than 3 lira (0,35 cents) and snap a few cute insta pics meanwhile! 馃摳
