Bilgi University Central Istanbul Energy Museum, which we visited today, is a must-see. The place, where Istanbul's electricity needs were met, has been transformed into a museum without losing its originality. In addition, you have the opportunity to experience how some of the mechanisms work. Admission is free. I think you should immediately hit the road with your hesitation code this is the place you must visit once.
