The Best of Asia and Europe
The city of Istanbul offers a trip unlike any other, encompassing Asian and European cultures to create a heady mix of art, music and food. The amazing Old Town and the Sultanahmet are home to iconic Blue Mosque and the Hagia Sophia. More history is hidden in the Topkapi Palace, where you can glimpse the splendor and opulence of Turkey’s Ottoman heritage.
Take a stroll through the historic center or the busy Taksim Square before watching the sun set behind countless mosques and minarets. Local fish markets and numerous restaurants lining the bridge to Galata offer the Golden Horn’s daily catch.
If you prefer the fine art of bargaining to fine art, lose yourself in the Grand Bazar and maybe you’ll emerge with a hookah, some Turkish coffee, or even a carpet. The Spice Bazar further immerses you in the sights, smells, and tastes of Turkish culture.
Getting to Istanbul is an easy trip from Ataturk International Airport or Sabiha Gokcen Airport. Whether you want a luxury hotel on the Asian side or a budget hostel in Taksim Square, Booking.com has over 1,000 great accommodations for a vacation in Istanbul.

It was an amazing experience visiting Istanbul .
It was an amazing experience visiting Istanbul ... the architecture of the mosques was astonishing and the nuture was out of this world specially the Princess Islands. Food was delicious and tasty. Cleanliness was very good. People there are a little bit tough (not all of them) and don't speak English at all!
I went to Bursa also and it was gorgeous city and worthy to visit.

It is very colorful place with beautiful streets and amazing markets(bazaars) and seaside. Traditional Turkish delight and sweets are worth to try anytime. The local culture is way different from the european. That is why it is difficult to compare Istanbul with any other places in the world.
Very easy to use the public transportation.

Good city.
Good city. Calm and kind people.
Good weather with nice seaguls around the city.
Amazing breads.
Uoropian side is more eye-catching with old europian style buildings and historical places.it has less populations from asian side. The asian side is croudy and has more traffic and population, but asian side can speak english and europian side cant(less people).
This city has good puplic transportation, but it should be longer at nights in such a turistic and live city.
If you take a taxi you should ask them for turn on the taxi-meter.
There is too much cafes and restaurants, some are too luctury and expensive, but some are just good in apearence, not in quality and hospitality but also expensive with so much talkative person at the door, trying too pull you inside👎🏿
If you dont want pay much for food, just walk into minor streets for minuts and you will find local restaurants with cheepest foods.

Do not go with tours they charge you alot more buy turkcell sim card with internet and download google map app and search everything there it gives you the public transportation directions. If you come from US don’t try sea food you most likely will have stomachache. Make sure to have loperamid pills with you for diarrhea.
Good luck enjoy

We liked the most Ortokoy, Besektes, Bebek and Taksim.
We liked the most Ortokoy, Besektes, Bebek and Taksim. We didn’t like the people there as they are not flexible and they don’t speak English at all. Best Turkish food is at Konak restaurant and Mado.

“The hotel has one of the best locations you will find in european side of istanbul, very convenient to reach at malls, taksim, sultanahmet, bebek or sariyer, from/to Ataturk airport.
