“The main library has lots of study space with tables and cushioned seating, but there are several secluded spots that make ideal study rooms. ... Get there early on Saturdays to ensure a good spot.”

“Airy and with big desks for work or relaxing spots in the window for people watching, 1Kahve spills out onto the street”

“The opening times are absolutely incredible here: from 6.30 am to 2 am every single day of the week! ... Free WiFi, plenty of power outlets, amazing opening times, a great location…”

“Cafe Nero has a downstairs lounge for studying and working. Check it out!”

“It is small, but rarely full, and the stools in the window are perfect for quiet typing with excellent opportunities (read: distractions) for people watching. On a sunny day, the seating outside is perfectly situated for working in the warmth of the sun in full range of the WiFi.”

“Lots of seats everywhere, more power plugs than you could imagine, great WiFi and good drinks… ... However, just so you know, the surroundings of the Galata Tower tend to be quite busy.”
