This mall was right by the Kocatepe metro station which was super convenient. Great architecture without too many floors. Super spacious and clean. It could have more seating areas for the sake of the shoppers. It lacked some lighting but it was a great experience.

For the standard mall experience, be careful with trying to withdraw cash from the atms. You're on your own if no cash is presented.

My kids and I like it! There are different brands; clothes, shoes and even well-known restaurants and coffee. The lego land and sea life are great to enjoy with your kids. There is a food court but we prefer to eat in IKEA as it is so close, 2 minutes walking.

Many brand stores are here. Impossible to finish in one day. The food court and fun lap are the best. There's a small bridge you can cross by walking that connects the mall to Ikea.

What I really appreciate about this mall is the light. The architecture allows for natural light to pass most of the day, which makes (me) for a good time strolling around. Food is good, many good stores, entrance is impressive and you almost go directly inside from the metro station. Sealife aquarium is also there and it's a great place to visit with kids.

One of the biggest malls in Europe, extremely good prices and lots of stuff to buy. Good for budget Travelers

Huge mall, all brands are available, all local needs are available, prices are acceptable, parking is available

I like this mall because of its huge size, you can almost any Turkish or international brand you are looking for here except for the French luxury ones like Gucci or Dior. It also has a good selection of food scattered between the different indoor outdoor areas in addition to the food court. It also has a very large Carrefour for groceries and produce. It also has good access to public transportation with the metro station entrance being right in front of the mall. The other benefit is being able to visit Ikea from a bridge that connects the two businesses together.

The mall is nice, many of the international brands and most of Turkish brands. The place is organized well, cafes and restaurants area os cool and all the choices are available. Metro station is almost inside the mall. The area around Fourm Mall is very quiet and not crowded. I recommend it of course.

A good mall in general but not as big as cevahir mall or the famous mall of Istanbul. You can fin many types of shops, the major brands, electronics shops, supermarkets, café, fast food and restaurants. Easy to access using metro line M1.

Very wide mall next to IKEA and KOCTAS. Everything is here for things you need. Toys shoes restaurants clothes etc

Istanbul - A nice and beautiful mall that has almost all of the brands and is distinguished by the presence of IKEA

Nice small sadly it's too crowded usually what overall is a nice place for the great design you can enjoy your time in here I do recommend that you come early in the morning or little bit after 7

I have just one problem with this mall, it has bad map! You can't find your way in first time you go there! You have to read guides but they are not full! But its very beautiful shopping center, also there is big ikea and decathlon!i feel brands in this shopping center have more models. Also there is a big aquarium(sealife istanbul)and you can buy ticket and see the too

Big mall that is 1 metro station away from istanbul central bus intercharge. Has many international and local brands as well as variety of food choices. Convenient place to shop.

Nice and quiet mall but too far

Probably one of the best (and I believe the largest) mall / AVM in Istanbul. They got large selection of everything along with many brands. This applies to food as well. Probably need a whole week to visit everywhere in the mall. If you are around, definitely come and take a look!

The Forum in Istanbul center district is a shopping mall with plenty of shops and restaurants, found the Mid Point restaurant a recommended place for foodies and drink.

It was a great mall since it had all the brands . I found great deals here.

It's a very big place. In side there is a lot of branded outlet. On top of the floor, there is the food court that you can dine in. There is also carrefour inside. You can also dine here if you like. There is variety of food the you can choose. It is so amazing.

Transportation is easy. lots of stores. Parking is limited especially on weekends. Preferred place for foreign nationals. I would recommend

We love to visit where local people meets. And this place is our priority. There’s Legoland Discovery center, Aquarium, Ikea, decathlon etc. And to be honest our favorite clothing store here is DeFacto. High quality with affordable price!

Beautiful shopping mall.

A big mall have lots of branches markets from small and big trades from different specifications Also have som activities ,restaurants and cafe’s

Very good! Lovely shops and restaurants,quite cheap and lovely!

The friendliest shopping mall

It no longer tastes like the old one

It's big and takes time. I went to Media Markt and stopped by Filo. The shoes are gone.

It is very crowded on weekdays and weekends, but it can be preferred as the store's brand variety is satisfactory.

A very enjoyable hunt

It's crowded on weekends, there's a lot of people there like a pack of dogs, not to mention the traffic, don't go to the top for parking, go 7 floors underground, there's empty space there.

A nice large shopping center with a good selection of stores. The shopping center is attractively designed and there are good food options. There is also an Ikea right next door. It can be a little crowded on weekends.

Right by metro station. You can shop, eat and walk a little. It is not bad. There is a large Carrefour supermarket inside if you are interested. Getting in by a car is easy but be careful at the weekends as it may be full.

Good shops, good restaurants, good kids activities

THERE IS THEFT AND NO ONE IS CARING. IT'S A VERY BAD PLACE, A DISGRACE

Nice place for all shopping

Crowded. Noisy.

Aslında bu yıldız fazla, işlerini kötü yapan insanların olduğu, güvenlik amirlerinin kendini bir şey sandığı, hiçbir şekilde yanıt ve geri dönüş alamadığım bir yer. Yazık böyle büyük bir yatırım böyle küçük adamların ellerinde. Yetkiliye 3 gün 3 gece uğraştık ulaşamadık, lütfedip cevap vermediler. Kendi aralarında sıfır iletişim olan berbat bir yer. Kemancı arkadaşımızı zorla dışarı attılar. Çok büyük talihsizlik yaşadım, etkinlik ajanslarına kesinlikle çalışmalarını tavsiye etmem. Yazık çok yazık. Güvenlik amiri Ömer bey, Volkan bey hiçbiri nazik ve yardımcı olmadılar. İnşallah yönetimden birisi bu yazıyı okuyup müdahale eder.

Bu kadar büyük mekan yap, içeride ne nerede bul bulabiliyorsan. Mühendis efendi iyi hiç tasarlamış ama yönetim otursun cikita muzunu yesin. Yönlendirme tabelaları berbat. Eskiden elektronik cihaz vardı. Şimdi onu da kaldırmışlar. Mescidi de fare yuvası kadar bırakıp kıyıda köşede kuytu bir yere almışlar. Rezil insanlar.

Sözde güvenlik görevlisi adı altında hizmet vermeye çalışan bir sürü işe yaramaz adamın bulunduğu bir avm işe her gelişiminde sorun çıkaran sözde egosu tavan yapmış amirileriyle birlikte Sokak kaba dayılığı yapan şahız lar kesinlikle tavsiye etmem 👎👎👎👎

Hafta içi gitmeme rağmen çok kalabalıktı yemek için masa bulmakta zorlandık. böyle bi ortamda alışveriş yapmak çok zor. Mağaza yerleşimini çok sıkıcı buldum.

Forum Istanbul, a very nice place, where you can hang out with family. They have variety of stuff. Highly recommended to visit.

Huge, huge mall. Security was tight where everyone and everything had to be scanned. The security team were very curt and stern too with queries. I believe they were just tired. The hordes of visitors thronged the aisles of each floor and every shop looked busy. Everyone jostled their way to get through. We left immediately after getting what we wanted as it was just too crowded.

So many things to have fun there not just fort childrens but for adults too it us realy nice place

It is so big you will get a headache. Breath deeply and get in. Excellent place to kill time if you're making an overlay at the main bus station (aka "Esenler" or "Bayrampasa")in town, located 10' away on foot.

Aquarium is so overpriced. Nothing special to see in aquarium also you can finish it in less than 20 minutes. We paid 190tl for two persons. It was a boring 20 minutes. There are no crocodiles or special fish.

Great place to hang out for families, Lego land and sealife inside the mall. Plenty of nice restaurants to eat. Great shopping destination.

Forum Istanbul is a conveniently located shopping destination near Kocatepe metro station. Its expansive layout boasts a vast market housing a diverse range of brands, including both local Turkish and international ones. From well-known brands to niche boutiques, shoppers are treated to a wide selection. Particularly noteworthy is the impressive IKEA store, spanning across a significant area, making it easy to spend hours exploring its offerings. The mall also offers a bustling food court with a variety of choices, though fast food options dominate. Connecting the main mall to the IKEA store is a bridge, facilitating seamless movement between the two. Overall, Forum Istanbul offers a comprehensive shopping experience, catering to various tastes and preferences, and its location adjacent to the metro station adds to its accessibility.

Big mall with a lot of brands in it. The location is good because there is no traffic on the streets there, so you can visit it easily.

While Forum Istanbul provides an excellent shopping and entertainment experience, it can get crowded, especially during weekends and holidays. Navigating through the large number of visitors can be a bit overwhelming, so planning your visit during less busy times might enhance your experience. Forum Istanbul is a shopper's paradise with a plethora of stores, dining options, and entertainment facilities. It's a fantastic place to spend a day with family and friends, and you'll likely find everything you need under one roof. Just be mindful of potential crowds during peak times.

Huge mall. Impossible to finish in one day, I think it's the biggest in The European side of Istanbul. There's a huge IKEA store next to it, there's a bridge connecting the two buildings. Has an entire floor for restaurants, mostly fast food tho. There's a metro that goes right under the mall, I think it's the M1 Metro.

One of the beautiful and biggest shopping center (AVM) in Istanbul

A great place to find whatever you want(not need)!

Very big place with many stores so you can find anything

Such a huge shopping mall and definitely one of the best ones in Istanbul! I love it 🤩

Great moll 😍, all services good, WiFi, food, games ✅❤️
