The Cemil Topuzlu Open-Air Theatre is in Harbiye, in the Şişli district, next to the Lütfi Kırdar Congress Center and a short distance from Taksim. The nearest metro station is Osmanbey on the M2 line.
What time do Harbiye concerts start?
Most evening concerts start around 21:00, but times vary by event. Always check your ticket and plan to arrive early, as security checks and crowds can slow entry.
