Knopf MapGuide: Istanbul
This opening fold-out contains a general map of Istanbul to help you visualize the 6 large districts discussed in this guide, and 4 pages of valuable information, handy tips and useful addresses.
Discover Istanbul through 6 districts and 6 maps
Saray Burnu/ Sultanahmet
Kumkapi/ Beyazit/ Eminönü/ Süleymaniye
Fatih/ Fener/ Balat/ Eyüp/ Hasköy
Karaköy/ Galta/ Beyoðlu/ Taksim
Niºantaºi/ Beºiktaº/ Dolmabahce/ Ortaköy
Üsküdar/ Kizil Adalar
For each district there is a double-page of addresses (restaurants — listed in ascending order of price — cafés, bars, tearooms, music venues and stores) followed by a fold-out map for the relevant area with the essential places to see (indicated on the map by a star *). These places are by no means all that Istanbul has to offer but to us they are unmissable. The grid-referencing system ( A B2) makes it easy for you to pinpoint addresses quickly on the map.
Transportation and hotels in Istanbul
The last fold-out consists of a transportation map and 4 pages of practical information that include a selection of hotels.
A thematic index lists all the sites and addresses featured in this guide.

This little guide is fantastic. I often drop it in my purse when I head out to explore a new corner of the city. The maps are nice and clear and I have now visited all the recommended places. Most are lovely with just a few that were not the most exciting in their category. I still love it after 5 years!

The Knopf Map Guides are pocket-sized (depending on what size pockets you have) with handy little fold-out travel maps. They're available for lots of cities around the world. I highly recommend them!
