Grand Bazaar 4.0 stars
Shopping - #1 of 33 Attractions in Istanbul

Blue Mosque 5.0 stars
Religious Site - #2 of 33 Attractions in Istanbul

Topkapi Palace 4.0 stars

Süleymaniye Mosque 5.0 stars
Religious Site - #6 of 33 Attractions in Istanbul
I think a lot of people spend so much of their attention on the Blue Mosque and the Aya
Sofya that so-called "lesser" mosques like the Suleymaniye get ... [more]
Galata Bridge 4.0 stars
Bridge - #7 of 33 Attractions in Istanbul
From a distance, you'd think there's not much to like about the Galata bridge, as the
architecture of it is nothing special. Even up close, if you take each ... [more]
Dolmabahçe Palace 4.0 stars
Castle, Fortification, Palace - #8 of 33 Attractions in Istanbul
Dolmabahce Palace is an opulent – and undoubtedly frightfully expensive – complex
built near the end of the Ottoman Empire. I sometimes wonder if the foreign ... [more]
Taksim Square 4.0 stars
Square - #9 of 33 Attractions in Istanbul
This is where everyone meets at the beginning of a night out. In fact, this is where
everyone meets for just about anything. It's probably the most common ... [more]
Cefer Aga Medresesi 4.0 stars
Building - #10 of 33 Attractions in Istanbul
Actually the Caferaga Medresesi ist the most beautiful place I have been to in
Istanbul. You can sit there in the historical café have something to eat or drink ... [more]
Burgazada 4.0 stars
Natural Monument and Landmark - #11 of 33 Attractions in Istanbul
Burgazada…Very close to İstanbul and at the same time too far . You can get there in 45

Buyukada 5.0 stars

Sultanahmet Square 5.0 stars
Square - #14 of 33 Attractions in Istanbul

biggest attractions are here: Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Hippodrome, Cistern ... [more]
Taxim 5.0 stars
Other Urban Landmark - #15 of 33 Attractions in Istanbul

Byzantine Hippodrome 5.0 stars
Park - #16 of 33 Attractions in Istanbul

Other Urban Landmark - #17 of 33 Attractions in Istanbul

Cihangir 4.0 stars
Quarter - #18 of 33 Attractions in Istanbul
Cihangir is just outside of Taksim Square and Istiklal Caddesi - the area which I assume
to be more or less the center of culture and commerce in Istanbul. ... [more]
New Mosque 4.0 stars
Religious Site - #19 of 33 Attractions in Istanbul
The ironically named “New Mosque” is a beautiful well-placed building in Eminonu. The
mosque is older than nearly any building in North America. While I greatly ... [more]

Harbour - #20 of 33 Attractions in Istanbul
If you're just looking for a quick bite to eat between Sultanahmet sightseeing and Beyoglu
