Today, the most important centers of trade and business are located in the areas of Maslak, Fatih, Beyazit and Basin Express.

The European side abounds with the most important and famous historical tourist places such as palaces, mosques, castles, churches and monuments belonging to the Byzantine Empire and the Ottoman Empire, and therefore the tourism movement does not stop in the European side, especially since Turkey occupies the sixth place in the world as a touristic destination.

Most of job opportunities in the European side more than on the Asian side, due to the existing of commercial and tourist centers in it, as well as the many industrial areas, most of the headquarters of international companies and investment centers are located there, all these factors made the European side have the strongest transportation network, as there is the metrobus line and the Marmaray train and both of them connect the European side with the Asian part, Also there are about 15 metro and tram lines that serve more than 80% of Istanbul's local residents and foreign residents, as well as buses network.

There are many sea ports, ministries and sovereign institutions in the European side, as Istanbul includes the commercial Amberli port in Beylikdüzü, and the port of Istanbul in Yani Kapi, and on the Asian side there is the commercial port of Haydarpaşa, besides most of the embassies and consulates are located in the European side in Bebek, Besiktas, Sisli and Beyoğlu.
