Metropol İstanbul

There’s a good choice of cafés and restaurants, and parking usually isn’t a problem thanks to the convenient valet service outside. I also liked how many restrooms there are. They were clean and well stocked with toilet paper and paper towels. The mall is very long, so getting around means a lot of walking. Some shops are outdoors and some are inside. It’s disappointing that popular names like Zara, Mango, and H&M aren’t here. I’d love to see those brands, along with Sephora, Zara Home, and Beymen Beauty, added. A bigger brand selection would make the shopping experience much better.

There’s no metro to the mall. Inside, you’ll find both luxury and affordable brands, plus a hotel and a 16-screen cinema. The complex has three towers: a 150 m residential tower, a 150 m office tower, and a main tower that reaches 280 m at roof level. It’s one of the largest shopping centers in Turkey.

There’s a large area of activities and amusement for children of all ages, along with plenty of different restaurants and coffee shops. The mall has indoor and outdoor sections, and almost all the famous brands. It feels quite different from other malls I’ve seen, and is worth a visit!

I really like the atmosphere, and the views of the three metropol towers make the mall feel more modern and attractive. There are cute places to eat, indoors and outside. The only downside is that there’s no metro at the mall or nearby.
