4-Star Hotels in Istanbul, Turkey

Istanbul's first-class (4-star) hotels offer excellent comfort and convenience at moderate rates, whether in Sultanahmet, Hocapasa or Beyoglu (Taksim Square or Tepebasi).
Consider a 4-Star if you...
—Enjoy modern comforts in rooms of quite adequate size.
—Can afford rates of about YTL150 to YTL300 double, breakfast included.
—Don't need luxury services such as large meeting rooms, swimming pools, shopping arcades, and a variety of in-hotel restaurants.
Most of Istanbul's 4-Stars are modern (built in the last 15 years or less) and many are conveniently located near tourist attractions and main squares.
For your convenience, I've included in this group some hotels classed as "Special" by the Turkish Ministry of Tourism, often Ottoman-style inns that have most—but not all—of the comforts and conveniences required to be officially classed as 4-Star.
Sultanahmet 4-Star HotelsThese are mostly on quiet streets within walking distance of most of Istanbul's major tourist sights. More...
Sirkeci 4-Star HotelsThe Sirkeci district, just down the hill from Sultanahmet, nearer to Sirkeci Station and the Eminönü ferry docks, has dozens of hotels and Hocapasa restaurants. Convenient location! Great value! More...
Beyazit 4-Star HotelsOnly steps from the Grand Bazaar and Istanbul University, a 10-minute walk from the great Süleymaniye Mosque and not even 15 minutes' walk from Sultanahmet (even quicker by tram), the Beyazit Square area offers comfort, convenience, and great value for money. More...
Beyoglu/Taksim Square 4-Star HotelsThese are mostly in a relatively quiet neighborhood called Talimhane just northwest of Taksim Square, the heart of "modern" Istanbul, often called Beyoglu. More...
Beyoglu and Taksim have lots of restaurants, shops, cafes, airline offices, nightclubs, and the Atatürk Cultural Center (opera, ballet, concerts, drama, conventions) and the main pedestrian-only avenue of Istiklal Caddesi. The Taksim area also has most of Istanbul's 5-Star luxury hotels, so you'll be in nearly the same location as the Hilton and Hyatt, but at half or a third of the price.

Ottoman Inns in Istanbul, Turkey

The Sultanahmet District is all about history and Ottoman culture, and these Ottoman inns keep Ottoman times alive.
The inspiration and decoration are 19th century, but—happily—the comforts and facilities are more modern.
Many inns have rooftop views of Ayasofya, the Blue Mosque, the Bosphorus or the Sea of Marmara.
Mavi Ev Hotel (Blue House)On Dalbasti Sokak right across the street from the Blue Mosque, with fabulous views, extra-friendly service, an excellent rooftop restaurant, and all mod cons. More...
Hotel TashkonakQuiet, convenient, friendly (and family-friendly), with a charming little "secret garden" where the loudest sound is birdsong! More...
Sari Konak Oteli (Yellow Mansion)A small inn on Mimar Mehmet Aga Caddesi with Ottoman ambience, all the comforts, an understated elegance, and a true family friendliness. Several apartments are perfect for traveling families. More...
Dersaadet OteliLots of dark wood and bright smiles at this carefully restored and maintained 17-room inn in a quiet location with sweeping Bosphorus views from the rooftop terrace. More...
Yesil Ev (Green House)On Kabasakal Sokak, the first Ottoman traditional house to be restored as an inn, it's still among the best, and right next to the Blue Mosque. More...
Ayasofya Pansiyonlari, Sister to Yesil Ev, this collection of restored old Istanbul houses on Sogukçesme Sokak clings to the wall of Topkapi Palace facing Ayasofya. More...

Special Hotels in Istanbul, Turkey

Istanbul's Special-Class hotels offer character, specifically Ottoman character. Some were built during the Ottoman Empire, others have been restored to the character of that era, still others strive for an Ottoman ambience.
Recognizing that some unique hotels did not fit its standard star classification system, Turkey's Ministry of Culture and Tourism created 'S' (Special) Class to designate hotels and inns that may not meet all the technical requirements for a certain star rating, such as number of guest rooms or restaurant seats, but that had other advantages, such as character, historical interest, and/or charm.
Special Class hotels are smaller than the standard 4- and 5-star luxury hotels, with fewer staff whom you'll get to know more easily. Each has special charms or advantages. Most are as comfortable as any modern hotel rating three or four stars.
Sirkeci KonakAmong the newest of Istanbul's S-class inns, it has distinct advantages: high-class comforts and services, a quiet location right beside the Topkapi Palace walls, only steps from a tram stop and a 10-minute walk to Sultanahmet, it's also an easy walk to the Golden Horn. More...
Hotel TashkonakQuiet, convenient, friendly (and family-friendly), with a charming little "secret garden" where the loudest sound is birdsong! More...
Sari Konak Oteli (Yellow Mansion)A small inn with Ottoman ambience, all the comforts, an understated elegance, and true family friendliness.
Sumahan on the WaterStylish, elegant boutique hotel, family-owned and run, with fine Bosphorus views...because it's right on the Bosphorus shore. More...
Mavi Ev Hotel (Blue House)Right across the street from the Blue Mosque, with fabulous views, extra-friendly service, and all mod cons. More...
Dersaadet OteliLots of dark wood and bright smiles at this carefully restored and maintained 17-room inn in a quiet location with sweeping sea views from the rooftop terrace. More...
Yesil Ev (Green House)The first Ottoman traditional house to be restored as an inn, it's still among the best, and right next to the Blue Mosque.
Hotel AraratIstanbul's equivalent of the atmospheric little Left Bank Paris hotel you may have stayed in years ago, directly—and I mean directly!—opposite the Blue Mosque.

Istanbul's Atatürk International Airport has a hotel right in the International Terminal, and several others within 4 to 8 km (15 to 20 minutes by taxi, YTL10 to YTL16).
View Larger Map
Depending upon when you fly, an airport hotel may or may not save you time and money. If you must travel to the airport during the morning or afternoon-evening rush hours, an airport hotel may make sense. But if you will be going to the airport at night or early in the morning, you might as well stay in the city. A taxi from Sultanahmet can reach the airport in 35 minutes between 9 pm and 7 am, 45 minutes to an hour at most other times. The tram and Light-rail Metro will take you from Sultanahmet to your airport terminal in about an hour.
Plan to be at the airport an hour before a domestic flight, and two hours before an international flight, to get through security, check-in, and a second security check.
When you contact a hotel for information or reservations, it's important to mention TurkeyTravelPlanner.com.
Istanbul International Airport HotelThe airport hotel, right in the International Terminal, has 85 rooms, restaurants, bars, and business facilities.
The 51 "airside" rooms are within the airport's security area and thus open only to international passengers arriving, departing, or in transit. The airside rooms can be rented for an hour or two, two to four hours, four to six hours, six to nine hours, or overnight, depending on your needs: perfect for taking a nap, a shower, or a few hours' work time.
The 34 "landside" rooms outside the security area are open to travelers as well as to the general public, and may be rented for day use or overnight.Check Rates & Room Availability via TTP's partner Turista Travel.

Hotels on the Bosphorus, Istanbul

Here are my favorite hotels on the Bosphorus north of Istanbul:
Sumahan on the WaterTop boutique hotel on the Bosphorus: elegant design, stylishly furnished, excellent views, right on the water. First choice in a small, personalized, family-owned hotel in a historic building. More...
Ciragan Palace Kempinski Istanbul, modern, next to a rebuilt Ottoman palace right on the Bosphorus shore: half the rooms have good views, all are surprisingly expensive.
Radisson SAS Bosphorus Hotel, in trendy Ortaköy, within walking distance of the famous Ortaköy Mosque and nearby tea houses, it's out of the center, but in a good location nonetheless.
Conrad International Istanbul, good Bosphorus views from most rooms, but you must take taxis everywhere.
Swissotel The Bosphorus, fine Bosphorus views, but little within walking distance.
Four Seasons Hotel Istanbul at the Bosphorus, the Bosphorus shore branch of the international luxury chain.

Beyoglu & Taksim Hotels, Istanbul

North of the Golden Horn, Beyoglu has fewer major sights than Sultanahmet in Old Istanbul south of the Golden Horn; but Beyoglu has more upscale boutiques, fine restaurants and trendy cafes and bars.
View Larger Map
Besides the luxury 5-star hotels below, consider also Beyoglu's 4-Star Hotels.
Istanbul Hilton, the city's first deluxe hotel, with panoramic views and spacious gardens and grounds
Hyatt Regency Istanbul, richly designed and decorated, and well located
Divan Oteli, smaller, locally-run, with a longstanding reputation for superb personal service
Ceylan Inter-Continental, asymmetrical sykscraper, totally modern, in a good location with excellent views all around
The Marmara, high-rise right in Taksim Square, always bustling, good views
Pera Palas Oteli, built for Orient Express passengers in late 1800s, dripping with nostalgia but a bit under-luxurious and over-priced.
Büyük Londra Oteli (Grand Hotel de Londres), the other of Istanbul's remaining late-19th-century hotels, is more modest than the Pera Palas, but very near, and a lot less expensive. See 3- & 4-Star Hotels in Tepebasi.
See also Beyoglu's 4-Star Hotels.

Grand Bazaar (Kapali Çarsi), Istanbul

Istanbul's Grand Bazaar (Kapali Çarsi, or Covered Market) is Turkey's largest covered market offering excellent shopping: beautiful Turkish carpets, glazed tiles and pottery, copper and brassware, apparel made of leather, cotton and wool, meerschaum pipes, alabaster bookends and ashtrays, and all sorts of other things.
Most guidebooks claim that it has 4000 shops. Because of consolidation and replacement of shops by restaurants and other services the number is certainly lower, but you get the idea: it has lots of shops. Not all of them, by the way, are for tourists; locals shop here as well, lending a welcome dose of authenticity.
A dozen restaurants in the bazaar allow you to have lunch in the midst of your shopping. Note that the bazaar is closed entirely on Sunday, as is the Egyptian (Spice) Market.
You'll want to hone your bargaining skills before you plunge into the markets. Tips...
Beware of pickpockets and bag-slashers in the crowds.
Divan Yolu, the avenue from Sultanahmet to Beyazit Square (the large plaza next to the Grand Bazaar) offers many interesting sights so the walk is a pleasant one.
However, the easiest way to get from Sultanahmet to the Kapali Carsi (and vice-versa) is via the Zeytinburnu tram uphill from Sultanahmet; get out at the Çarsikapi stop.
By the way, going by taxi is not so great (and certainly not cheap) because your taxi must negotiate a tortuous route around one-way streets, pedestrian-only and tramcar-only areas.
To really see Istanbul's markets, take my Istanbul Bazaars Walking Tour from the Grand Bazaar downhill along Uzunçarsi Caddesi ("Longmarket Street") to the Rüstem Pasha Mosque and the Egyptian (Spice) Bazaar on the Golden Horn by the Galata Bridge.
For funny stories about buying antiques in and around the Grand Bazaar, see my Bright Sun, Strong Tea excerpts entitled "Aladdin's Lamp Shop" and "Rockefeller Geldi!"
For more detailed info on shopping in Istanbul, pick up a copy of The Guide Istanbul, and The Treasures and Pleasures of Turkey: Best of the Best in Travel and Shopping.

Beyazit Meydani (Square), Istanbul

Beyazit Square (officially named Hürriyet Meydani, "Freedom Square," but no one uses that name except some cartographers) is the spacious plaza in front of Istanbul University's main gate, and next to the Grand Bazaar and the Old Book Bazaar (Sahaflar Çarsisi).
Though the Romans called it the Forum Tauri, the Byzantines expanded it and renamed it the Forum of Theodosius. It's now the stone-paved stage for the dramatic backdrop of the university gates.
The walled Istanbul University campus was built as the Ottoman Ministry of War, which accounts for its martial, fortress-like aspect.
The Mosque of Sultan Suleyman the Magnificent (Süleymaniye Camii), Istanbul's largest, is just behind the university enclosure.
The area just east of the square is known as Çarsikapi (CHAHR-shuh-kah-puh, "Door to the Market") because of a main entrance to the Grand Bazaar.
If you'd like to stay in this section of Istanbul, near the University, the Grand Bazaar and the Süleymaniye mosque (and only a two tram-stop ride from Sultanahmet), have a look at my recommended Beyazit hotels. More...
At Çarsikapi you can catch the Eminönü/Kabatas tram eastward for Sultanahmet, Sirkeci Station and Eminönü (Egyptian Market, Galata Bridge).
A great way to explore Istanbul's markets is to take a walking tour from Beyazit and the Grand Bazaar north along Uzunçarsi Caddesi ("Longmarket Street") through the Tahtakale market district to the Rüstem Pasha Mosque and the Egyptian (Spice) Bazaar on the Golden Horn.
Going west, you catch the Zeytinburnu-Kabatas tram at either the Çarsikapi or Universite stops for Aksaray, Millet Caddesi, Topkapi gate and Zeytinburnu, where you can transfer to the Metro.

Golden Horn, Istanbul, Turkey

As the sun sets in Istanbul, its yellow light blazes on the waters of the Golden Horn, giving this freshwater estuary its romantic name.
"Golden Horn" is its Western name. Its Turkish name, Haliç, (hah-LEECH, from Arabic) has nothing to do with gold or horns. Haliç, short for Haliç-i Dersaadet, means "The Bay of Istanbul," the body of water which separates the "old" and "new" parts of European Istanbul.
The Galata Bridge crosses the Golden Horn at its mouth, connecting Eminönü and Sirkeci in Old Istanbul (centered on Sultanahmet) to the south with Karaköy (Galata) and Beyoglu (Pera) to the north.
This short river may have gotten its "golden" name because it was the commercial heart of the city, serving as the principal harbor of Byzantium, Constantinople and Istanbul for 2000 years, until the mid-20th century. Markets still abound here, and the Istanbul Chamber of Commerce has its offices right on the shore.

In Byzantine times, Italian city-states had colonies on its shores, and the southern end of the Galata Bridge at Eminönü was a Karaite Jewish quarter. In later times, Rüstem Pasha, grand vezir to Sultan Süleyman the Magnificent, built his exquisite small mosque here.
In Ottoman times, Sephardic Jews fleeing the persecutions of the Spanish Inquisition were welcomed into the empire and settled at Balat and Hasköy on the Golden Horn. (For more, see Jewish Sites in Turkey.)
In late Ottoman times, the Orient Express from Paris would round Seraglio Point and come to a stop at Sirkeci Station beneath the walls of Topkapi Palace at the mouth of the Golden Horn.
European trains to Istanbul still arrive at Sirkeci, and international cruise ships and ferries still arrive at the Yolcu Salonu in Karaköy (Galata) to the north across the mouth of the Golden Horn.

Sirkeci Hotels, Istanbul, Turkey

Between Sultanahmet (the center of Old Istanbul) and Sirkeci Railway Station is the Sirkeci district, a neighborhood with two dozen hotels, at least a dozen restaurants, even a Turkish bath.
For more about the district, see my Sirkeci Street Guide.
In Sirkeci you may pay 20% to 35% less for a comfortable hotel room than in Sultanahmet, yet Sirkeci is only a 10-minute walk downhill from Sultanahmet, the Hippodrome, Blue Mosque, Ayasofya and even less far from Istanbul's Gülhane Parki, Archeological Museums and Topkapi Palace. You can shorten the walk to and from Sultanahmet by taking the tram.
Most hotels here are newly-built or -restored. Many have some Ottoman-style decor, some have restaurants and/or bars, a few have views from a few rooms.
Many host tour groups from Europe and the United Kingdom, but all prefer individual travelers, couples and families.
All in all, this is the best-value area near Sultanahmet.
3-Star HotelsHere's a selection of adequately comfortable but inexpensive hotels rated at 3-stars or fewer.
4-Star HotelsHere are Sirkeci's better hotels, rated as 4-star or Special Class, with all the comforts, at prices significantly lower than comparable hotels in Sultanahmet.
Sirkeci & Hocapasa RestaurantsThere are some quite nice restaurants in and right next to some of these hotels, and many more clustered near the Hocapasa Camii (mosque) just two or three blocks from the hotels.
The Hocapasa restaurants are great bargains, patronized mostly by locals, but being discovered by foreign travelers as well.

Byzantine Hippodrome, Istanbul

Istanbul's Byzantine Hippodrome was the heart of Constantinople's political and sporting life, and the scene of games and riots through 500 years of Ottoman history as well.
It's now a calm city park called the At Meydani (Horse Grounds) because of its function in Ottoman times.
Facing one another across the Hippodrome are the Blue Mosque and the Museum of Turkish and Islamic Art.
Monuments decorating the Hippodrome include the 3500-year-old Egyptian Obelisk of Theodosius, brought to Constantinople by Emperor Theodosius in 390 AD.
You'll also see the spiral bronze base of a three-headed serpent sculpture brought from Delphi in Greece, under restoration in 2007.
During a visit in 1901, Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany erected an elaborate temple-like fountain as a gift to the sultan and his people.
Yerebatan Saray, the Sunken Palace Cistern, is beneath the little park at the northern end of the Hippodrome. Above the hidden cistern is a stone tower that was once part of the city's system of aqueducts.
Beside the stone tower is the Milion, the zero-mile-marker on the road called the Mese, the Roman road between Constantinope and Rome. The street is now called Divan Yolu.
Ayasofya (Hagia Sophia) is across the street from the stone tower, Topkapi Palace is just beyond Ayasofya, and the Istanbul Archeological Museums are next to Topkapi, down the hill bordering Gülhane Parki.

Hotels near Sultanahmet, Istanbul

For sightseeing in Istanbul, Sultanahmet is the most convenient place to stay, especially if you're looking for a small Ottoman-style inn, a cozy family pension or a backpackers' hostel—but there are luxury options here as well.
Actually Sultanahmet encompasses a variety of neighborhoods surrounding the historic Byzantine Hippodrome and the premier sights of Istanbul: Topkapi Palace, Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque.
HippodromeThe very center of Sultanahmet, with the Blue Mosque on its southeast side, the hotels here are as close as you can possibly get to the major historical sights on the peninsula of Old Istanbul. More...
Divan YoluThe ancient road to Rome extends from Sultanahmet Square and the Hippodrome westward to Beyazit Square. On its north side are several hotels within a 2- or 3-minute walk of the Hippodrome in an area of narrow streets (some pedestrian) crowded with restaurants. More...
CankurtaranEast and south of the Hippodrome toward the Bosphorus, a warren of streets lined with hotels of all shapes, sizes and degrees of comfort and price, from backpackers' hostels to the elegant 5-star Four Seasons Hotel Istanbul. All are within a 5- to 10-minute walk up a gradual hill to the Hippodrome. More...
SirkeciDown the hill north of Sultanahmet along Alemdar Caddesi on the way to Sirkeci Station, this neighborhood has two dozen hotels in all price ranges, and more than a dozen restaurants from cheap to fancy. A 10-minute walk or a short tram ride takes you uphill to Sultanahmet, or north to Sirkeci Station, the Eminönü ferry docks, and Galata Bridge. More...
Ahirkapi/ÇatladikapiAt the far eastern/southern extent of Cankurtaran right by the Byzantine city walls and the shore highway, this district has several good hotels with virtues that make the extra few minutes' walk (8 to 12 minutes uphill to the Hippodrome) worth it.
Küçük AyasofyaOn and off Küçük Ayasofya Caddesi, the street running downhill from the Blue Mosque's Arasta Bazaar to the Little Hagia Sophia Mosque, and neighboring Nakilbent Sokak, there are a dozen hotels in all classes, all convenient to the Hippodrome.
BinbirdirekJust west of the Hippodrome up the hill is a small park beneath which lies Binbirdirek, the Byzantine Cistern of 1001 Columns. Facing the park and on neighboring Klodfarer Caddesi are several good hotels, some with fine views and moderate prices.
Piyer Loti Caddesi West of Binbirdirek, south of Divan Yolu, Piyer Loti Caddesi is a partly-pedestrianized street, therefore fairly quiet, and lined with good 3- and 4-star hotels.
KadirgaSouth and west of Binbirdirek and Piyer Loti, this neighborhood has a variety of lodgings on narrow streets in a real Istanbul-Turkish (not tourist) neighborhood. It's a 10- or 15-minute walk uphill to the Hippodrome.
BeyazitFarther west, south of Beyazit Square near the Grand Bazaar, are several good modern quiet hotels near shopping and the tram line, with lower prices, and still only a 12- to 15-minute walk from the Hippodrome along historic Divan Yolu.
If you already have the name of a hotel and want to know more about it, see my Istanbul Hotel Index.
If you're looking for a hotel, choose a category:
5-STAR LUXURY (€250 and up per room): the best of everything—at a price. Details...
4-STAR COMFORT (€80 to €200 double): luxury and all the comforts, but without a few of the frills. Details...
OTTOMAN INNS (€80 to €200): charming restored Ottoman townhouses and mansions with all the modern conveniences. (Most are officially rated 'S' (Special), but would normally rate 3 or 4 stars for comfort and facilities.)
3-STAR CONVENIENCE (€60 to €100 double): comfortable but not elaborate: why pay for services you won't use? Details...
2-STAR THRIFT (€40 to €80 double): surprisingly comfy—great value for money. Details...
1-STAR ECONOMY (€20 to €60 double): adequate and inexpensive hotels and pensions, often with private bath. Details...
NO-STAR CAMARADERIE (€6 to €25 per bed): floor space, dorm beds, private rooms (some even with private bath), and a surprising range of services from travel agency to belly-dancing. Details...
You can take a look at your hotel's location using my Sultanahmet Street Guide. www.hotelle.com

Hotel Districts in Istanbul, Turkey

Istanbul's two main hotel districts, Sultanahmet and Beyoglu, are a 15-minute, YTL10 taxi ride apart. There are also hotels north of the city center on the Bosphorus.
SULTANAHMET HOTELSIf you're coming to Istanbul primarily for sightseeing, the hotels, inns, pensions and hostels in the neighborhoods surrounding Sultanahmet Square provide easy access to the major sights in historic Old Istanbul ("Stamboul") including the Hippodrome, Topkapi Palace, the Blue Mosque, and Ayasofya.
Lodgings are in all price ranges, from cheap hostels to five-star luxury, with most being charming mid-range inns. Though a convenient choice, hotels here may be a bit more expensive than those in Sirkeci or Beyazit (see below). Details...
SIRKECI HOTELSJust down the hill from Sultanahmet is the district of Sirkeci (SEER-keh-jee), so called because it's between Sultanahmet and the Sirkeci Railway Station.
Sirkeci has recently been redeveloped into a hotel area with two dozen lodging-places in all price ranges. There's great variety and selection, and because these hotels are not as well known as those in Sultanahmet, prices tend to be lower. Details...
BEYAZIT HOTELSBeyazit Square, dominated by the lofty gates of Istanbul University and the minarets of the imperial Beyazit mosque, is right next to the Grand Bazaar and the Old Book Bazaar, and only a 12-15 minute walk along Divan Yolu from Sultanahmet, even quicker by tram. Prices are lower here, too. Details...
BEYOGLU HOTELS The Beyoglu district north of the Golden Horn, formerly called Pera, is the more modern part of the city. Most of it was built during the 19th and 20th centuries around Taksim Square and Istiklal Caddesi (the Grande Rue de Péra). It has more and better cafes, restaurants, nightlife and upscale shops, though fewer historic sites.
Beyoglu hotels are mostly modern 4- and 5-stars, often busy with tour groups and meetings. Many are hotels near Taksim Square.
BOSPHORUS HOTELS Most of these hotels offer magnificent water views from luxury 5-star rooms facing the Bosphorus strait, but not all rooms do, and the location is a bit distant from sightseeing, shopping and nightlife. You'll be taking lots of taxi rides, sometimes through dense traffic. Details...
AIRPORT HOTELSThere's one right in Atatürk International Airport, another adjacent to the airport, and several others only a 10- or 15-minute (YTL8 to YTL10) taxi ride away. Details...

What to See & Do in Istanbul, Turkey

ISTANBUL'S TOP SIGHTS
These are the sights you should be sure to see, ranked in order of importance and ease of access. Luckily, the first six are close together near Sultanahmet Square. You can visit them on your own, or on a half-day or full-day city tour.
1. Topkapi Palace: home (and Harem!) of the sultans
2. Ayasofya (Hagia Sophia): changed the course of Western architecture; greatest church in Christendom for 1000 years
3. Sultanahmet (Blue) Mosque: Islam's elegant answer to Ayasofya, with six minarets and blue interior tiles
4. Byzantine Hippodrome: the political and recreational heart of Byzantine Constantinople and Ottoman Istanbul
5. Turkish & Islamic Arts Museum: facing the Blue Mosque on the Hippodrome, a treasure-house of 1000 years of fine art
6. Sunken Palace Cistern (Yerebatan Saray): an eerie subterranean "sunken palace" of 336 marble columns which could hold 80,000 cubic feet of water in case of drought or siege
7. Grand Bazaar: the ultimate medieval "shopping center," with 4000 shops, fun whether you buy or just browse
8. Egyptian (Spice) Market: food, spices, coffee, snacks and some touristy stuff
9. Beyoglu: the romance of 19th-century Istanbul
10. Dolmabahce Palace: the sultan's sumptuous new (1856) European-style palace on the Bosphorus
11. Bosphorus Cruise: the perfect half-day Istanbul excursion, up toward the Black Sea past castles, palaces and Ottoman-Victorian villages
12. Princes' Islands: get away to islands with Victorian-era towns free of motor vehicles: walk, bicycle, or take a horse-drawn carriage tour
MORE ISTANBUL SIGHTSThese sights are also important but more difficult to get to, or of narrower appeal. Details.
