Rahmi M. Koç Industrial Museum
Arrive at the Rahmi M. Koç Industrial Museum as it opens. This is the quietest time to explore the vast collection of transport-related items, including the submarine and the Douglas DC-3 aircraft, without the midday rush.
10:45
Walk 14 minutes to KASTAMONU SULTAN LOKANTASI for lunch. This 24-hour restaurant is ideal for a hearty meal anytime, but coming here straight from the museum ensures you catch it before any potential evening crowds.
11:30
End your visit with a coffee at Cafe Ma, just a 14-minute walk away. It is open from 10:30 in the morning, so you can easily pop in for a final rest and a drink to digest your meal.
Local tip
The museum is located on the Golden Horn. If you want to stretch your legs after lunch, the area around Hasköy offers a typical Istanbul streetscape that the museum itself recreates indoors.
