Istanbul was highly rated for history by 1,982 guests from the United States!Istanbul Travel Guide
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.

Great mix of middle eastern and European cultures.
Great mix of middle eastern and European cultures.
I wanted to come for the longest time and I’m glad I didn’t give up the idea. It reminds me my trip to Rome where the modern and old world is in one place.

It was our second trip to Istanbul and it's always nice to be there.
Some places like the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia's surroundings have been changed by fences, gift shops, and cafes. It's not as quiet as 10 years ago but still nice memories to us.
“Extremely Perfect to stay in Istanbul near the biggest airport in Turkey evn with this price, I did not expect this high quality hotel... The staff also was so helpful and professinal... Thanks to them! It was very nice experience for me to stay in this hotel... Next time? Yes... Exactly!”
