Top ItinerariesDay OneSultanahmet & Around (p52)

M Head to Aya Sofya Meydanı (Aya Sofya Sq) and work out which of the

museums and mosques in the immediate area will be on your visiting list. Don’t miss Aya Sofya, the Blue Mosque and the Basilica Cistern. After your visits, wander through the Hippodrome, where chariot races were held in ancient times.

Sultanahmet & Around (p52)

R Diverge from the crowded tourist trail and follow our walking tour

down into the Küçük Ayasofya neighbour-hood. Afterwards, source some souvenirs in the historic Arasta Bazaar.

Sultanahmet & Around (p52)

N After dinner, claim a table at Derviş Aile Çay Bahçesi or Cafe Meşale,

where you can enjoy tea, nargile (water pipe) and a free (but very touristy) whirling- dervish performance. Alternatively, head to the A’YA Rooftop Lounge at the ritzy Fours Seasons Hotel. In winter a treatment at one of the Old City’s Ottoman- era hamams is a relaxing and warm alternative.

Day TwoSultanahmet & Around (p52)

M It’s time to investigate the lifestyles of the sultans at Topkapı Palace.

You’ll need a half-day to explore the palace Harem, marvel at the precious objects in the Treasury, admire the recently renovated palace kitchens and wander through the pavilion-filled grounds.

Beyoğlu (p123)

R Explore the streets, cafes and boutiques of Galata, Tophane,

Karaköy and Çukurcuma and consider a visit to the eclectic Pera Museum or nostalgic Museum of Innocence.

Beyoğlu (p123)

N The night is still young! Hit the bars and clubs in Asmalımescit,

on İstiklal Caddesi or in Harbiye and Cihangir. Those who are still hungry should instead head to Karaköy for a ate-night baklava fix at Karaköy Güllüoğlu.

Dinner Have fish at Balıkçı Sabahattin (p84) or kebaps at Hamdi Restaurant (p105).

Lunch Join local workers at one of the humble lokantas (eateries serving ready-made food) in the area – Sefa

Restaurant (p82) is a popular choice.

Dinner Beyoğlu is the city’s eating and drinking hotspot. Enjoy a pre-dinner drink at a hipster bar in Asmalımescit

before enjoying fine meyhane-style food at Eleos (p135) or modern Turkish cuisine at Neolokal (p133).

Lunch Investigate the excellent cheap eateries on Sirkeci’s Hocapaşa Sokak; old-fashioned Hocapaşa Pidecisi (p83)

is one of our favourites.

Day ThreeBazaar District (p91)

M Get ready to explore the city’s famous Bazaar District. After visit-

ing the most magnificent of all Ottoman mosques, the Süleymaniye, make your way to the world-famous Grand Bazaar to explore its labyrinthine lanes and hidden caravanserais, picking up a few souvenirs along the way.

Bazaar District (p91)

R After lunch follow the steady stream of local shoppers making

their way down the hill to the Spice Bazaar. While there, seek out the exqui-site Rüstem Paşa Mosque, camouflaged in the midst of a busy produce market. As the sun starts to set, walk across Galata

Bridge towards the eating and entertain-ment district of Beyoğlu.

Beyoğlu (p123)

N Listen to some live jazz at Nardis or Salon. Alternatively, take a

Day FourThe Bosphorus (p162)

M Board the Long Bosphorus Tour (Uzun Boğaz Turu) for a one-way

trip up the Bosphorus and then make your way back to town by bus, visiting museums and monuments along the way. Alternatively, take the Dentur Avraysa hop-on, hop-off tour from Beşiktaş and visit the Sakıp Sabancı Museum in Emirgan and the Ottoman-era Küçüksu Kasrı and Beylerbeyi Palace.

Beyoğlu (p123)

R If you take a 90-minute cruise on a Bosphorus excursion boat rather

than the full-day or hop-on, hop-off trip, you can devote the afternoon to investigat-ing Beyoğlu’s exciting contemporary-art

scene. Don’t miss the İstanbul Modern, ARTER and Pera Museum.

Beyoğlu (p123)

N Bid farewell to the city over a post-dinner drink at one of Beyoğlu’s

Dinner Beyoğlu has restaurants, meyhanes and street food aplenty – explore these on a night-time food

tour with İstanbul Eats (p89), İstanbul on Food (p146) or Urban Adventures (p103).

Lunch Grab a cheap eat in or around the Grand Bazaar; head to Dürümcü Raif Usta (p107) or Dönerci Şahin

Usta (p107) for kebap, and Bena Dondurmaları (p107) for something sweet.

Dinner It’s time to sample the national dish, kebaps – head to Antiochia (p134) or Zübeyir Ocakbaşı (p135) to enjoy a

meaty feast.

Lunch If the weather is fine, enjoy a light lunch in the Hıdiv Kasrı Garden Cafe (p169). In cooler weather try one

of the cafes in the shadow of majestic Rumeli Hisarı – we particularly like the casual Sade Kahve (p169).

Our WritersVirginia MaxwellBazaar District, Beyoğlu, Kadıköy, Day TripsAlthough based in Australia, Virginia spends part of each year in Turkey. As well as working on the previous five editions of this city guide, she also writes Lonely Planet’s Pocket İstanbul, covers İstanbul, İzmir and the North Aegean for the Turkey guide, and writes about the city for a host of international magazines and

websites. Virginia also wrote the Plan, Understand and Survive sections of this guide.

James BainbridgeSultanahmet & Around, Western Districts, Beşiktaş, Nişantaşı & OrtaköyJames is a British writer based in South Africa’s Cape Winelands, where he writes for publications worldwide. He has been working on Lonely Planet pro-jects for more than a decade, including coordinating five editions of Turkey, writing the first edition of Discover Turkey and contributing a major feature on

Turkey to Lonely Planet Traveller magazine. He was extremely happy to return to his old stomping ground of İstanbul, where he once lived and took a Turkish-language course.

Our StoryA beat-up old car, a few dollars in the pocket and a sense of adventure. In 1972 that’s all Tony and Maureen Wheeler needed for the trip of a lifetime – across Europe and Asia overland to Australia. It took several months, and at the end – broke but inspired – they sat at their kitchen table writing and stapling together their first travel guide, Across Asia on the Cheap. Within a week they’d sold 1500 copies. Lonely Planet was born.

Today, Lonely Planet has offices in Franklin, London, Melbourne, Oakland, Dublin, Beijing and Delhi, with more than 600 staff and writers. We share Tony’s belief that ‘a great guidebook should do three things: inform, educate and amuse’.
