A waterfront district on the European shore of the Bosphorus, Beşiktaş is one of Istanbul's most active areas for cafés, restaurants, and Bosphorus views, with the shoreline running from Dolmabahçe Palace in the south to the Bebek neighbourhood in the north. Its historic commercial centre, the Çarşı marketplace, sits alongside well-known neighbourhoods including Ortaköy and Arnavutköy. The district is also home to Beşiktaş football club and its stadium, and sits close to several UNESCO World Heritage sites in the wider Istanbul region.
