Istanbul, with a map

A guide to Istanbul with a mini-conversion and a map.
During the trip with Polyglot in the Turkish capital, you will visit two continents at once, because Istanbul, aka Ancient Constantinople, has been a bridge between the East and the West for centuries. The former capital of the Roman, Byzantine, Latin and Ottoman Empires incorporated so many cultures and survived so many eras that it became completely special, no like a city.
It is amazing how natural and organically the trip to Istanbul combines the seemingly incompatible: calm family vacation and reckless youth fun, beaches and historical attractions, shopping and excursions in museums, exotic Asian areas and quite European quarters. You can come here again and again - and every time you discover something new, interesting and amazing for yourself! It is good here at any time of the year, and to the most important attractions you can easily reach public transport!
The guide not only introduces tourists to the best routes along Istanbul, but also helps to plan an independent journey depending on the amount of free time. There is a route for a long weekend, there is a trip to the world of the Sultans, and if you are interested in the search for ancient Byzantium, Polyglot will offer such a way.
Visit the famous Cathedral of St. Sophia and the Blue Mosque, take a walk along the Galata bridge, take a freshly laid -haired Stavrid, go shopping in the best stores of the city and famous bazaars, have fun in clubs and discos in the European part of the city. Three routes along the Imperial Center, two to the Grand Bazar and the Eminennya district ... What can I say: the polygot is offering whole14 routes and 12 cards. Plus a large map of the city, invested in a transparent cover on the cover.
In the guidebook "Istanbul" you will find sections that will help prepare for the trip. This is a brief history of the city located on two continents, information about the transportation, the calendar of the upcoming events and holidays. The climate section will help you choose the optimal time for you to travel, and information about hotels and restaurants - to navigate in the whole variety of proposals
