As your dedicated travel agent, I recommend preparing for your Istanbul adventure with some excellent reading! For family travel, "Lonely Planet Turkey" is a fantastic guidebook that covers practical tips, top attractions, and cultural insights. "Rick Steves Istanbul" provides a family-friendly perspective and walking tours of the city. For more in-depth history, "Istanbul: Memories and the City" by Orhan Pamuk offers a beautifully written journey through Istanbul’s past and present. If you want something to engage the children, "The Adventures of the Turkish Twin" by Lucy Fitch Perkins is a lovely story set in Turkey. You’ll find these titles helpful in making the most of your Istanbul holiday!

About the destination

Istanbul owes its historical significance and its incredible cultural and architectural heritage to its perfect strategic location, straddling the Bosphorus straits which separate Europe and Asia Minor. Throughout most of its 2,500-year-long history, the city (first known as Byzantium, then as Constantinople and since 1930 as Istanbul) was a cultural melting pot. Today, its population of over 13 million is almost exclusively Turkish, and many of its people are recent migrants from provincial Turkey, drawn by the promise of jobs and careers in this vibrant, rapidly growing city. Istanbul is no longer the nation's capital, but is Turkey's economic and cultural powerhouse - a status emphasised by its role as a European City of Culture in 2010 and the award of UNESCO World Heritage listing to many of its most important landmarks, which range from stunning Ottoman mosques and Byzantine churches and catacombs to the columns of Hellenistic temples and the remains of massive medieval city walls. But there's more to Istanbul than Byzantine and Ottoman heritage. A rapidly growing economy has contributed to a thriving arts and music scene, with a wealth of new bars, clubs, private art galleries, restaurants and designer fashion outlets.
