You can count on Rick Steves to tell you what you really need to know when traveling in Istanbul.

Following Rick’s self-guided tours, you’ll experience the wonders of East and West in this fascinating city—the capital of two great empires. Explore one of the world’s largest domed churches, haggle with merchants in the lively Grand Bazaar, and discover the secrets of the sultan’s harem in Topkapi Palace. Wander through monumental mosques, shop along sophisticated avenues, and watch whirling dervishes in action. Cruise the Bosphorus for a quick trip to Asia, and end the day relaxing in a Turkish bath.

Rick’s candid, humorous advice will guide you to good-value hotels and restaurants in delightful neighborhoods. You’ll learn how to get around on the city’s trams and ferries, and which sights are worth your time and money. More than just reviews and directions, a Rick Steves guidebook is a tour guide in your pocket.
