The mosques, bazaars, and Turkish baths of Istanbul could keep you happily occupied for your entire trip: an eyeful of breathtaking architecture here, a good-natured haggle over a carpet there. Kick your trip off at the awe-inspiring Sultan Ahmet Camii (Blue Mosque), which is visible from many points of the city. Stroll the Galata Bridge and stop by the Miniaturk Park to see its tiny artifacts. The Grand Bazaar has thousands of shops to browse, while the Egyptian Bazaar is a fragrant trove of spices and fruits.

This amazing place near the Grand Bazaar is the oldest shisha place in Istanbul and I would recommend you to visit it if you want to have a different and authenic experience. They make really good shishas with smooth smoke and the guy is carrying around the tray with Turkish teas (apple is my favourite)... They have different rooms in the courtyard, but I think the offer is pretty much the same. Stop by if you are in the area!

This touristy street is lined with shops, restaurants and a visitor center.
It's easy to walk around here because there are so many shops and many tourists are walking on the street. You can enjoy shopping and eating here as long as you take care of your belongings and, of course about yourself! Very bright-lit street and don't be afraid of walking here after sunset. 前も書きましたが、とにかく観光客が大勢いる場所ですから、人がまだ出ている時間帯なら夜間に出歩くのも何ら問題ありません。呼び込みとか客引きはいますが、たいていここでは自分の(手伝っている?)お店の前でのみ行っています。したがって、しつこくされるとか付きまとわれることもありません。(次々人が歩いて来ますから、特定の人に付きまとう必要もないのでしょう)節度を守ってイスタンブールのナイトウォークを楽しめるところです。
