Everyone agrees on Istanbul’s magical charm, which still has some grandeur of the Byzantine Empire. When I first visited this summer, I was very impressed by its architecture: mosques, hidden baths and its unique skyline. Anything interesting in terms of architecture is here. If you find any mistakes, or have any suggestions please let me know. My intention is to keep it useful. Hope you enjoy! PS: Make sure you visit Cappadocia too.

Spent a fantastic 10 days in this marvelous city last year and now have the perfect excuse to go back–I only saw about a quarter of these buildings! Thanks.

Virginia I have lived in all these cities (Chicago, Madrid, Lisbon, Istanbul) and a few others. It would be great to share opinions about how architecture shapes the atmosphere of each one. Coffee? I am in Barcelona.

Hello! So happy they can be of good use to you. Please share how your experience was. In Bangkok don’t miss the Lebua rooftop– one of my favorites. Istanbul will be a lot colder so maybe you can spot some good angles with snow. So excited for you 🙂

Están sin actualizar desde el año pasado pero espero que te sean útiles. Un sitio favorito: Maiden’s Tower. Es un poco lío ir con el ferry pero cenar ahí con la puesta de sol es una absoluta pasada. Disfruta 😘

Hola Virginia, enorabuena por esta guía y plano! Vamos a Estambul la semana que viene y es una gozada haber encontrado un plano y guia como esta! Una pregunta: a qué corresponden los colores de los indicadores de mymaps? El verde está claro 🙂 pero el resto no consigo averiguarlos! Muchas gracias!

Hola Xabi, me has pillado actualizándola para un futuro viaje hahaha. Te cuento mis nuevos descubrimientos, en verde los restaurantes y en rojo los sitios nuevos (si los ves en móvil quizá te salgan blancos) son los que apenas tienen texto. Mis sitios favoritos en amarillo. De restaurantes no puedes faltar en Hamdi, me encanta ese sitio 👌🏼
