Istanbul practical travel guide

Istanbul spans Europe and Asia around the Bosphorus, combining Byzantine and Ottoman monuments with diverse neighborhoods, museums, markets and an extensive ferry network.

  • ✓Cross the Bosphorus by public ferry.
  • ✓Discover Beyoğlu, Balat, Kadıköy, Üsküdar and the Princes' Islands.
