You will notregret it.”—TripAdvisor Member, Istanbul2. Traveling with children? “Get the TimeOut guide to Istanbul. It is by far the bestcity guide, and it has a section on activitiesfor kids.”—TripAdvisor Member, Istanbul3. If you have a six-digit pin on your bankcard, consult with your bank beforeleaving, as “you need a four-digit pinnumber to use ATMs in Turkey.”—TripAdvisor MemberInsideISTANBULYes, Constantinople has been gone a long time, but Istanbulhas charms that evoke both a bygone era and the seductionsof the modern world. In the old city, time seems to havestopped: vendors push handcarts, shoeshine boys vie for yourmoney and women dress in the modest Muslim tradition. Yetpractically next door, you can find the ultra chic bars and danceclubs of the Beyoğlu and the trendy restaurants of Ortaköy.Istanbul straddles Europe and Asia literally—the Bosphorusdivides the city across the two continents—and figuratively, asthe only city in the world that has been capital to a Christianand then an Islamic nation. Roman antiquities, Byzantinetreasures and traces of the Ottoman Empire await yourdiscovery. Most tourists find themselves on the Europeanside, in Sultanahmet, the old city, which contains the Islamictreasures of the city: the Blue Mosque, the Topkapi Palace andthe Hagia Sophia.Istanbul’s summers are hot, humid and relatively free ofprecipitation, with temperatures averaging 82ºF. Winters arecolder; although the temperature rarely drops below freezing,snowfall is not out of the question.tripadvisor.com2
