WHAT NEIGHBORHOODS ARE BEST TO STAY IN ISTANBUL?
By Bery Istanbul Tips
1. Sultanahmet, Sirkeci, Cemberlitaş:
This area is for those who want to be as close as possible to major tourist attractions such as Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, among others. The area is connected with a tram which is quite convenient since we can easily move to other areas such as Galata Tower, Karakoy and Eminonu, from where the ferries depart to the Asian side. It is a quite tourist and family-friendly area. However, at night there's not much to see or do and prices are much higher.

Do you want to explore Türkiye (Turkey) LIKE A LOCAL? Then you're in the correct place!
I'm a Mexican living in Istanbul for the past 8 years. Me and my husband who was born and raised in Istanbul and is a licensed tour guide in Turkiye we both love exploring the country and share everything through our social media and guides with our amazing audience.
What makes us way different is that you’ll never see us recommending ultra popular spots that have become “trendy” thanks to TikTok or Instagram because more likely they are just tourist traps and you’ll end up dissapointed either for the bad quality of the services, prices, etc, instead, we show you the city and country in a much more authentic way, from a LOCAL eye, in a way that surely you’ll remember forever.
In addition to that, we also give you our little secrets that most don’t know about, we go deeper into detail and that I, of course, have learnt throughout these years of living here and experiencing every corner of the city, and tricks that also my Istanbulite husband have thought me.
So, are you ready to explore the city in an authentic way? If so, our guides and itineraries are tailored exactly for that, and trust me, they’ll save you MONTHS and MONTHS of research and stress! Everything you need for an Istanbul trip is compiled here, It took me almost a year to put everything together for you, and my ebooks that became BEST SELLERS almost right away after launching them in February of 2022, now I share them here with the platform’s format, they have been very welcomed by my audience and have made a huge impact when planning their trips to Istanbul.
What are you waiting for? Our guides are just a click away!
