Lined with cafés, art galleries, and boutique shops, Fransız Sokağı captures the artistic and bohemian spirit of Beyoğlu. The street’s vividly painted stairs and colorful facades make it a favorite spot for photographers and creatives, while its lively ambiance and nighttime lighting enhance its charm. The area remains a bustling commercial and social center, featuring handicraft and souvenir shops that add to its vibrant appeal. Despite its name change, many still refer to it as Cezayir Sokak, a nod to its past. Located near Çiçek Pasajı, Galatasaray Hammam, and the Republic Monument, Fransız Sokağı remains a cultural and artistic hotspot in the heart of Beyoğlu.
