İstanbul has a potential to make one feel like Alice in Wonderland with its phantasmagoric atmosphere if one is into shopping. The city has dozens and dozens of shopping malls for those seeking for goods of beauty, electronics, fashion and more.
But some are definitely worth visiting for the quality of brands, service and atmosphere they offer!
Although I am not a fan of modern shopping malls, they are an inevitable and integral part of our modern lives and here is the top three for you!
If you are on the Anatolian side and are looking for a shopping mall that will offer you leisure, luxury as well as convenience, here is Akasya Shopping Mall for you. It is easy to reach via metro, easy to park your car if you are driving, spacious to walk around comfortably, has a wide range of brands from high quality to upscale and with nice restaurants to dine in.

If you are on the European side, there are two upscale options for you. One is Zorlu Shopping Mall. Although its labyrinth like architecture makes it a bit challenging to walk around, it has all you are looking for! Note that it also has an amazing Performance Center that hosts concerts, dance performances and plays of all genres.
The last shopping mall I will recommend is İstinye Park. It is a rather spacious mall with a wide range of upscale brands and niche restaurants.
I hope you enjoy the richness of these shopping malls that try to offer you all!
