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. You can also see the city’s famous street bazaar and visit historical buildings such as the Topkapi Palace while taking a trip across the Bosphorus Bridge will take you from Europe to Asia or vice versa. Below, you’ll see some of the top Airbnbs in Istanbul, Turkey. After you discover the best places to visit in Istanbul, these are the places to stay.
