Akasya / Acıbadem / Üsküdar
Why we picked it
Akasya’s official FAQ states that the mall is open every day from 10:00 to 22:00. This is the clearest all-week wording among the Best5 examples. Individual cinema, KidZania, restaurant, pharmacy and event schedules can still differ, so use their dedicated pages when one activity is the reason for your visit.
Pros
- Clear official all-week wording
- Useful dedicated tenant information
Cons
- Attraction hours may differ
- Holiday announcements still need checking

İstinyePark / Pınar / Sarıyer
Why we picked it
İstinyePark’s official FAQ publishes 10:00–22:00 seven days a week. It also explicitly says restaurant and café closing times may vary and tells visitors to follow official homepage announcements for holidays and special days. That distinction is the model travellers should use for every mall.
Pros
- Explicit seven-day schedule
- Official warning about restaurant and holiday differences
Cons
- Tenant closing times are not uniform
- Special-day announcement can override standard hours

Zorlu Center / Levazım / Beşiktaş
Why we picked it
Zorlu Center’s official FAQ states daily service from 10:00 to 22:00. Zorlu is also a useful example of why the mall schedule is only the first layer: performances, restaurants, hotel facilities and tax-refund desks can publish their own times. Check the particular service or event ticket.
Pros
- Clear daily mall schedule
- Detailed official service information
Cons
- Performance times are independent
- Some desks use different Sunday hours

Emaar Square Mall / Ünalan / Üsküdar
Why we picked it
Emaar Square’s official visit page lists 10:00–22:00 for every day from Monday through Sunday. Visitors planning the aquarium, SkyView, cinema or a particular restaurant should check that venue separately, especially when booking a timed ticket or arriving late.
Pros
- Day-by-day schedule is published
- Official visit page combines hours and access
Cons
- Attractions need separate checks
- Late arrival is risky for timed admission

Capitol / Altunizade / Üsküdar
Why we picked it
Capitol’s official contact page lists 10:00–22:00 every day and visibly warns that working hours may change on special dates. That warning is the most important holiday lesson in this guide: check the official announcement even when the normal weekly schedule looks simple.
Pros
- Clear every-day schedule
- Explicit special-date warning
Cons
- Holiday hours require a fresh check
- Entertainment sessions can differ
