Frommer's Istanbul takes you beyond the tourist circuit to discover the city's hidden pleasures and historical secrets. Experience Istanbul like a local, thanks to our author's tips on buying authentic rugs and Turkish crafts, visiting a hamam, haggling in the markets, dining on street food, and avoiding time-honored scams.
Frommer's Istanbul includes suggested itineraries for seeing the city on a tight time-budget; walking tours through the city's grandest plazas and ancient back streets; side trips to get you out of the city and exploring a different perspective on Turkish life; an in-depth history and culture appendix that discusses the history, arts, language, and religions of Istanbul; and a beginner's Turkish glossary, to help you greet your Turkish counterparts in their own language.
