Like most other Hard Rock outlets, Istanbul’s Rock Shop isn’t big. You’ll find the common merchandise with the only difference is the name of the city you’re in. As usual, we bought souvenirs for our children and the bill is mounting up as we bought some in every city we went.
Istanbul’s HRC is situated off Istiklal to you right if you are coming from Taksim nearby the Galatasary funicular stop.
Note: HRC Istanbul has ceased operations a year or so after this visit.

Look out for this location, Galatasaray funicular stop. About 50 m down, turn right at Mesrutiyet Caddesi and HRC is to your left after a few shoplots. Credit : Ismail Akpinar
