Istanbul sits at the meeting point of two great continents: Europe and Asia. Its unique location makes the city a dynamic and fascinating place to explore, but it can also be hard to know where to begin! In this guide I will share some of the city's highlights, from interesting neighbourhoods and must-visit sights to cultural experiences and delicious food. I will also include some useful tips to help you get the most out of your trip.

Welcome to my completely unorganized but oh-so-helpful map of Istanbul! An absolute smorgasbord of my own travels and research, suggestions from friends and strangers, and many treasures found along the way, this is where I compile all things Istanbul for my future trips and yours.
