ISTANBUL

The best places to eat, sleep and play

in Istanbul this spring and summer

SPRING & SUMMER GUIDE 2008

tripadvisor.com 2

Yes, Constantinople has been gone a long time, but Istanbul

has charms that evoke both a bygone era and the seductions

of the modern world. In the old city, time seems to have

stopped: vendors push handcarts, shoeshine boys vie for your

money and women dress in the modest Muslim tradition. Yet

practically next door, you can find the ultra chic bars and dance clubs of the Beyoglu and the trendy restaurants of Ortaköy.

Istanbul straddles Europe and Asia literally—the Bosphorus

divides the city across the two continents—and figuratively, as the only city in the world that has been capital to a Christian

and then an Islamic nation. Roman antiquities, Byzantine

treasures and traces of the Ottoman Empire await your discovery. Most tourists find themselves on the European side, in Sultanahmet, the old city, which contains the Islamic

treasures of the city: the Blue Mosque, the Topkapi Palace and

the Hagia Sophia.

Istanbul’s summers are hot, humid and relatively free of

precipitation, with temperatures averaging 82ºF. Winters are

colder; although the temperature rarely drops below freezing,

snowfall is not out of the question.

Inside

TripAdvisor, the most trusted source for where to eat, sleep and play in thousands of destinations around

the world, has collected the best insider tips from its 25 million monthly visitors to produce a unique

series of travel guides. In addition to the best hotels, restaurants and attractions for every type of traveler,

you’ll get great advice about what to pack, how to get around and where to find the best views. Be sure

to check out the guides at www.tripadvisor.com.

1. “For a better understanding and to catch

the sentiment of the city, try reading

Orhan Pamuk’s autobiography Istanbul:

Memories and the City. You will not

regret it.”—TripAdvisor Member, Istanbul

2. Traveling with children? “Get the Time

Out guide to Istanbul. It is by far the best

city guide, and it has a section on activities

for kids.”—TripAdvisor Member, Istanbul

3. If you have a six-digit pin on your bank card, consult with your bank before

leaving, as “you need a four-digit pin

number to use ATMs in Turkey.”—

TripAdvisor Member

4. Although smoking is banned in many public

spaces, it is allowed in restaurants and bars

until July, 2009. Be prepared for smoke in restaurants, even the healthy eateries!

ISTANBUL’S BEST VIEWS

“At the end of the day, you must find one of the hilltops (or the rooftop of your hotel)

to watch this exciting and magical city as it

flickers with lights, a jewel in the night.”—TripAdvisor Member

Kiz Kulesi, Istanbul’s “Maiden’s Tower,

is over 2400 years old. While it can be

seen from any western point along the

Bosphorus, its interior begs to be seen. A

sunset viewed from this location will be the

cherry on top of your trip to Istanbul.”—

TripAdvisor Member, Istanbul

Kiz Kulesi, off the coast of Üsküdar

For “killer views and a great cup of coffee, be

inspired by the scenery at Pierre Loti Café

and go home to write that best-selling novel.

Loti is said to have conceived his literary

masterpiece, Aziyadé, while gazing down

at the expansive views of two continents’

shores and the estuary that separates

them.”—TripAdvisor Member, Istanbul

“A trip to Princes’ Island by ferry was the

activity most enjoyed by the children. No

cars on the island, so you get about by

horse and buggy. Interesting old houses and

excellent waterside restaurants made our

day trip there a pure joy for all concerned.”—


Princes’ Island, ferry leaves from Eminonu port

“Stroll through Miniaturk, a park full of

scale models of important buildings and

tourist sites from all over Turkey, and a few

Ottoman buildings that are outside Turkey. It is the world’s largest miniature park.”—

place.”—TripAdvisor Member, Brussels,

Belgium

Jogging trails, hiking paths are lovely here, as

are the wonderful springs, and you can hear

the birds that are often drowned out by traffic in the city.”—TripAdvisor Member, Istanbul

the Ciragan Palace. It has a very nice

jazz bar on the Boshporous. You can see

Member

EDUCATIONAL/HISTORICAL

The Hagia Sophia Museum is

“breathtaking. Its unique architecture and

size, the golden, gilded geometrical and

flower-motif mosaic, the wisely appointed windows that allow the light of the sun to

illuminate specific places, the huge seraglio and many more features make Hagia

Sophia the top sight to visit in Istanbul!”—

TripAdvisor Member, Athens, Greece

Hagia Sophia Museum, Sultanahmet, 212 522 1750

“The Bosphorus Tour ferry sails north from

Istanbul, up the Bosphorus, almost to the

Black Sea, then back again. Along the way

it stops at the small ferry ports that dot the

coast. The landscape you see is wooded hills,

dilapidated waterside estates of a different

era, sleek modern estates very much of

the present and the occasional palace and

castle.”—TripAdvisor Member, Fair Lawn, N.J.

Bosphorus Tour Ferry, leaves from Eminonu’s Dock 2

The Cemberlitas Hamami was “designed

by the same architect as the Blue Mosque.

guides, but you’ll be able to glimpse the scenic

enclave of Topkapi and the famed Golden

Horn.”—TripAdvisor Member, Istanbul

Moda Quay

At Misir Carcisi, “you can buy the usual

tourist fares for less than at the Grand

Bazaar. Check out the 350-year-old ceiling,

the maze of alleys filled with haggling merchants, and be transported back to

the famed trade center of 17th century

Istanbul.”— TripAdvisor Member, Istanbul

Misir Carcisi (Egyptian Bazaar), behind the Yeni Cami Mosque
