Istanbul: frequently asked

What makes Istanbul unique?
Istanbul is the only city in the world that straddles two continents — Europe and Asia. The Bosphorus Strait divides the city and the world's two continental landmasses. The city has been continuously inhabited for 2,700 years, serving as capital of the Byzantine and Ottoman Empires.
Is Istanbul safe for tourists?
Istanbul is generally safe in tourist areas. Sultanahmet, Beyoğlu and Karaköy are very safe. Be aware of common tourist scams (shoe-shine drops, overpriced meyhanes). Standard urban precautions.
What is the best Istanbul neighbourhood for food?
Kadıköy on the Asian shore has Istanbul's best everyday food scene — the market, the meze restaurants on Moda Caddesi, and the best street food. Beyoğlu for upscale dining.
