I didn't actually get to see if there was a food court in this mall but I'm pretty sure there is one. I passed up a Nike and Adidas and even a few men's fashion stores that tempted me to go in but I was on a mission.

"Branded mall not an outlet!"…read more We went there as there was nothing near our Hotel (titanic business hotel). Don't be confused with the name, its not an outlet mall as in North America that's where the bargains are. The mall is decent and not out of fashion so worth the visit and if you like us stuck and need some good tasty food like KFC or Burger King this is the place. All the restaurants are on the 4th floor. The cab/Taxi could be trick as from the hotel it was 7 lira and going back they werent taking us until we gave them 10 liras. The guy managing the taxis keep on tell the drives and not letting us negotiate.

It's an average place. I'm probably spoiled by the outlet in the states. I didn't find things…read moreparticularly cheap or inexpensive. I did have a good time shopping the market on the lowest floor. They did have some snacks and drinks that I liked. Ever try fermented black carrot juice? Yeah I didn't either and shouldn't have.

You have an amazing view from this skyscraper! The entrance is something around 10-15 Lira but it…read moreis totally worth it. You can see so far on both the Asian and the European side of the city! There is a cafeteria so you can enjoy a tea while enjoying the view. There is a mall inside too, but it's not that good. CAUTION: When you reached the top with the elevator you already have an amazing view but you are surrounded by glass! There are stairs which lead to the top without any glasses. It is not that obvious, please don't miss it. Very windy upside;)

Istanbul Sapphire has an incredible 360 degree view of the entire city. The observatory is…read moresurrounded by glass which can be a little smudged especially when taking pictures during the evening. They have an average cafe but the view is what really counts. Advice, try to go 40min before sunset so you can enjoy the view while there's some light. Hint: go up the stairs to the roof top, a little windy, but feels different without the 360 glass.

Vialand is one of the two (so far) theme parks in Istanbul. It's located not far to the center even…read morethough getting there with public transport is not that easy. But the good news is that they have regular shuttle vans from various locations od Istanbul directly to the park. This year (2016) prices have gone up almost by 90% compared to last year, but it's still a nice park for everyone between 7-70 of age. I definately suggest you the free fall from the tower and the high speed roller coaster if you like the adrenaline. There are many other games and attractions of course. There are several restaurants and cafeterias inside so you don't starve while you're spending hours in here. There is a shopping mall and a hotel next door.

The food court is probably the worst thing about this mall to me, there just isn't enough selection. There is a cinema here, also they valet your car outside if your too lazy to park in the garage lol. Overall solid mall that should satisfy your shopping needs!
