About Istanbul
Istanbul straddles Europe and Asia across the Bosphorus, layering Byzantine churches, Ottoman mosques and modern galleries into one walkable city. Base yourself in Sultanahmet for the classic monuments, Beyoğlu for nightlife and design hotels, or Kadıköy on the Asian side for local food and a quieter feel.
