Although not the capital of Turkey (as all quiz fans will know, that’s Ankara), Istanbul is without a doubt the most iconic city in this country. One of the very few cities in this world which can lay claim to sitting on two continents, it is home to 14 million residents and a whole lot of history. Locations that you must visit include the Hagia Sophia; in its day it has been a basilica and a mosque and now it is a museum. The city’s famous street bazaar and historical buildings such as the Topkapi Palace, the Bosphorus Bridge, etc. are some of the best places to visit.

Should you wish to do a bit of grocery shopping to fill that fridge, then you will find there are plenty of stores nearby where you can shop to your heart’s content.
Tip from Content Creator
Take advantage of this rental's proximity to Blue Mosque or Turkish Sultan Ahmet Mosque. The UNESCO World Heritage Site was constructed between 1609 and 1616. Handpainted with more than 50 different tulip designs, its decorations include verses from the Qur’an. Intricate window designs in which natural lights shine through are a few of the many features of this beautiful and historic Mosque.
The beautiful and historic mosque has 5 main domes and 8 secondary domes. It is considered to be the last great Mosque of the Classical Period of Ottoman Architecture.
Visiting mosques is one of the main attractions in Turkey. There are about 3,000 of them! Here are some tips before you visit:
Bring a shawl to cover your head and shoulders. One will be provided on the main entrance door of the mosque, so no need to be alarmed and wonder if you’ll be able to get in or not. And no shoes are allowed, although you can carry them in a plastic bag or like.
It is free to enter the mosque and very much open to the public. Make sure to check the hours, as certain times are closed for Prayer hours.
Photos and videos are allowed. No tripod is allowed, and please be mindful of your surroundings.

23. Bright room close to everything
This room, a private rental in the owner’s apartment, offers you excellent views of — and proximity — to the best of Istanbul’s sights. From the roof here you can see the Topkapi Palace, Hagia Sophia, Suleymaniye Mosque and more besides. While space is limited, the views more than make up for it and, if you happen to be a cat person, the host’s three cats will be very pleased to meet you! At nights, the view from the rooftop terrace includes the lit-up Galati Tower, making for a magical experience.
Tip from tour guide
You can enjoy a stunning view of Suleymaniye Mosque from the roof of this Airbnb. This mosque is one of the most important examples of Classical Ottoman architecture. Although more than a hundred earthquakes have occurred in Istanbul since its construction in 1550, there has not been the slightest crack in the walls of the mosque. It has a rectangular floor plan and is surrounded by a large courtyard, which is enclosed by a colonnade of domed porticoes. The mosque's central dome is the largest and highest in Istanbul, measuring 53 meters in height and 27.5 meters in diameter. It's hard to decide whether the most impressive part is the gate, the dome, or the view.

26. Room in Sultanahmet boutique hotel
This room is perfect for holidaymakers who wish to be well located for Istanbul’s key tourist destinations — you’re a short walk away from Hagia Sophia, and also close to the Topkapi Palace. This apartment Airbnb in Istanbul’s Sultanahmet neighbourhood is in a building with a touch of history itself, having been a mansion in the old city before it was renovated and turned into a hotel. This room is brightly furnished, modern and spacious, and even has access to a kitchen (which, it is only fair to note, is shared with other residents). With a mini-fridge and an LCD TV, this is a room that you’ll be happy to spend a lazy day or evening in.
