The Istanbul Aquarium, located in the Florya neighborhood of Istanbul, is home to a plentitude of aquatic and amphibious animals, as well as capybaras… but they're great swimmers, so they fit right in!
If you're looking for wonders of the ocean, then you're in luck. Istanbul Aquarium is home to the guitar shark, the Cuvier's dwarf caiman (a small crocodile species found in the Americas), gentoo penguins, and an impressive array of fish from across the globe.
You'll find around 17,000 land and sea creatures inside, spread out across 17 custom habitats and a miniature Amazon rainforest.

Hodjapasha Cultural Center is a delightful piece of the city’s striking cultural mosaic, near the mighty Hagia Sophia Basilica and the magnificent Topkapi Palace.
Transformed from a large 15th-century hamam (Turkish bath), the building now welcomes visitors under its high dome ceilings to showcase some of the best of this vast country’s traditions since 2008.
