It's a fact. Istanbul is a seriously hilly city. Getting around as a pedestrian involves slogging up steep inclines, navigating through the trash, and squeezing out of the way for any type of vehicle. (One way signs are taken as a suggestion, by the way.) So, here are a couple of pictures of typical hilly routes we've taken:
Stairs (half-way only!) down from our apartment building to the Bosphorus

The other half to the bottom of the hill...

Pürtelaş Caddesi, which we use to get to Taksim Square

Look far in the back, do you see the stairs?
