Here you can sample one of the best cuisines in the Med, explore spectacular historic sites, take a ferry from Europe to Asia and shop in Istanbul’s buzzing markets. The fun doesn’t stop there, however, make sure you also experience the contemporary side of the city in its vibrant nightlife, dynamic creative scenes and its great choice of museums and galleries. #### Areas & Neighbourhoods in Istanbul **Sultanahmet** – Sultanahmet is home to many of Istanbul’s headlining attractions including the Hagia Sophia, Topkapı Palace and the Blue Mosque. Compact enough to explore on foot, this historic district is a must see during your time in the city. **Galata** – Located across the Golden Horn from the Old Town, Galata is great for shopping and nightlife, though it also has its share of historic attractions. The pedestrianized Istiklal Street, and the roads that run off it, are a good place to start a night out in the city. **Bosphorus** – This leafy waterfront district is home to a number of palaces and parks as well as the Bohemian neighbourhoods of Beşiktaş and Ortaköy. A good place to escape the hustle and bustle of central Istanbul, explore this characterful district and sample its charming independent cafes, shops and food stalls. **Princes’ Islands** – This collection of nine, car free islands feels a million miles from the hectic streets of Istanbul. A great place for a day trip, you can spend an afternoon strolling through the lush landscape and admiring the impressive wooden mansions that dot the islands. #### Things to See in Istanbul Istanbul’s sights are among the most famous in all of Turkey. From the Hagia Sophia and Topkapı Palace to the Blue Mosque and the Basilica Cistern, Istanbul has more than enough attractions to keep even the most energetic sightseer happy for days. The Bosphorus and the Golden Horn are also major landmarks of Istanbul and you can take ferries across the waterways to see the city from a different point of view. If you’re interested in Istanbul’s mercantile past, a visit to the city’s Grand Bazaar is a must. Stretching over 61 covered streets and packed with over 4,000 shops, it’s the perfect place to pick up a souvenir of your stay in the city. #### Things to Do in Istanbul Thanks to its rich history, Istanbul has a fantastic selection of museums to explore. The Istanbul Archaeology Museums, the Turkish and Islamic Arts Museum and the Museum of Innocence are among the most popular, though there are plenty more for you to explore. For Shopping, it’s hard to beat the labyrinthine Grand Bazaar, while if you’re looking for a more relaxing experience you can while away an afternoon at one of the city’s many hamams.

Blue Mosque As one of the most striking features of the Istanbul skyline, the Sultan Ahmed Mosque is awe-inspiring in size and scope. More often called the Blue Mosque, it was built under the rule of Sultan Ahmed I of the Ottoman Empire and completed in 1616\. The original architect’s vision was to build a great religious site with prominent Islamic features.

Hagia Sophia As one of the finest architectural marvels, as well as one of the largest churches, in the world, Hagia Sophia is Istanbul’s most famous landmark. The building you see today represents many cultures. Known in Turkish as “Ayasofya” (Sacred Wisdom), Hagia Sophia has been of major religious importance to the region, and for various faiths. The church was first commissioned by the Romans and was opened in A.D. 360 before becoming Constantinople’s main Christian place of worship. After riots destroyed the building not once but twice, a new basilica was eventually built in the sixth century, and the Hagia Sophia became the center of Eastern Orthodox Christianity.

Grand Bazaar The Grand Bazaar (Kapalı Çarşı) lies between the Bayezid and Nuruosmaniye mosques, and covers an enormous area. Once you enter one of its 21 gates and start exploring, it’s clear that this is one of the largest bazaars in the world. Under its seemingly endless roofs you can find glazed tiles, spices, pottery, brassware, leather accessories, belly-dancing costumes, pipes and ashtrays, among other curiosa and crafts.

Topkapi Palace Topkapi Palace is among the best preserved Ottoman palaces, located on the spot where settlement in Istanbul began. A visit to its quarters provides insight into the Ottoman history of the Turkish city. The 15th-century Topkapi Palace was converted into a museum under Atatürk, the founder of the Turkish Republic, in 1924.
