About Esenler

A densely packed, working-class residential district on the European side, sitting right beside Istanbul's main intercity coach terminal.

Esenler lies inland on the European side, around 30 km from Kadıköy with a bridge crossing and toll. Though the giant bus terminal carries Esenler's name, it technically sits just over the border in Bayrampaşa, with Esenler immediately adjacent. The district is mainly a tightly built, working-class residential area among the industrial neighbourhoods of the western side.
