Book description
The Rough Guide to Istanbul is the perfect introduction to a
vibrant mega-city, fast-becoming as popular for its nightlife and
arts scene as it is for its unique historical heritage. All the
major Byzantine and Ottoman sites, plus a myriad lesser-known gems,
are easily tracked down using clear, comprehensive maps.
Whether you wish to watch the faithful at prayer in the iconic
Blue Mosque, admire the glittering gold mosaics in the Church of the
Holy Wisdom, relax in an historic Turkish bath, cruise up the
continent-dividing Bosphorus or dance the night away in an ber-cool
club, you can find out where and how in The Rough Guide to
Istanbul. Evocative photographs of the city's highlights
complement the text and two full-colour sections introduce the
fascinating world of Ottoman Turkish architecture and the culinary
delights of the Turkish kitchen.
There are up-to-date descriptions of the city's best bars, cafes,
clubs, hotels, restaurants and shops for all budgets, and a detailed
section on 'out of town' trips including the legendary city of Troy
and the former-Ottoman capitals of Bursa and Edirne.
Make the most of your time, with The Rough Guide to Istanbul.
Now available in ePub format.
