We’re discovering the easiest way to reach Istiklal Street from Karaköy in just 1.5 minutes—without breaking a sweat! Since 1875, the historic Karaköy Tunnel Funicular has been carrying passengers up Galata’s steep slopes, offering a journey that’s both modern and nostalgic. In this short yet delightful ride, you’ll witness Istanbul’s past and present city life all at once.
The Karaköy Tunnel Funicular holds the title of being the world’s second-oldest underground urban railway, right after the London Underground. Spanning approximately 573 meters, it was built in the 19th century to save Galata’s businesspeople from climbing its steep hills. Originally steam-powered, it now operates with a modern electric system and carries thousands of passengers every day. With only two stations, it remains an iconic part of Istanbul’s transportation history.
