To make the most of your journey, I highly recommend exploring a few guidebooks and resources before you travel. "Istanbul: The Ultimate Istanbul Travel Guide" by Atsons offers a comprehensive overview of the city’s must-see spots, while the "DK Eyewitness Travel Guide: Istanbul" provides beautiful visuals and practical tips for sightseeing and shopping. For a deeper cultural understanding, "Strolling Through Istanbul: The Classic Guide to the City" by Hilary Sumner-Boyd and John Freely is considered a classic. If you are looking for something a little more romantic, Orhan Pamuk’s "Istanbul: Memories and the City" will give you a poetic sense of place. For up-to-date insights, websites like Culture Trip and Lonely Planet’s online Istanbul section are also fantastic resources. Enjoy your enchanting adventure in Istanbul!

Stay

About the destination: Istanbul owes its historical significance and its incredible cultural and architectural heritage to its perfect strategic location, straddling the Bosphorus straits which separate Europe and Asia Minor. Throughout most of its 2,500-year-long history, the city (first known as Byzantium, then as Constantinople and since 1930 as Istanbul) was a cultural melting pot. Today, its population of over 13 million is almost exclusively Turkish, and many of its people are recent migrants from provincial Turkey, drawn by the promise of jobs and careers in this vibrant, rapidly growing city. Istanbul is no longer the nation's capital, but is Turkey's economic and cultural powerhouse - a status emphasised by its role as a European City of Culture in 2010 and the award of UNESCO World Heritage listing to many of its most important landmarks, which range from stunning Ottoman mosques and Byzantine churches and catacombs to the columns of Hellenistic temples and the remains of massive medieval city walls. But there's more to Istanbul than Byzantine and Ottoman heritage. A rapidly growing economy has contributed to a thriving arts and music scene, with a wealth of new bars, clubs, private art galleries, restaurants and designer fashion outlets.
