Travel Guide to Istanbul

Istanbul sits right between Europe and Asia. The city has a long past, showing old buildings and busy markets side by side. Most people start their visit in the Sultanahmet area on the European side. Here, you can walk through the Topkapi Palace, where Ottoman rulers lived for hundreds of years. Right next to it is the Blue Mosque, known for its tall towers and thousands of blue tiles on the inside walls.

Since the city sits on the water, taking a ferry across the Bosphorus Strait is a great way to spend an afternoon. You can take a boat from the European side to the Asian side and see the city from the sea. The Grand Bazaar is another major stop. It is a massive indoor market with thousands of small shops selling spices, clothes, and carpets.
