Read about how we rank Things to Do.
A private museum aimed at collecting and exhibiting artwork of contemporary significance, Istanbul Modern appeals to locals and international visitors. Artists represented inside include Sarkis Zabunyan, Richard Wentworth and Yoko Ono.
Tourists find the museum's impressive permanent and temporary exhibits a welcome respite after looking at scores of old structures. What's more, many praise Istanbul Modern Restaurant, the on-site eatery, which dishes up tasty Turkish coffee and meals alongside glorious views of the Bosphorus.
Istanbul Modern is open Tuesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., with extended hours on Thursdays. Admission costs 25 Turkish lira ($7) per person, and student and senior discounts are available. In addition to the property's restaurant, visitors have access to restrooms, a gift shop and a fee-based parking lot. For travelers without a car, Istanbul Modern – which sits in Beyoglu – can be reached via bus or tram. Check out the attraction's website to learn more.
