Istanbul City Overview

This grand old city where domes and minarets dominate the skyline, and you can walk the same streets as the crusaders once marched along, also has a pounding nightlife, flash shopping malls, and up to the minute music and cinema. Istanbul’s architecture, cuisine, culture and history all make up a fascinating and mind-blowing tapestry of yesterday and very much tomorrow.

Daily Budget
Unbelievable as it may seem, US$20 a day will feed you, give you lodging in a pension, and leave some change for travelling. If you find you overestimated on expenses and have a more to play around with, then splash out US$25 to US$40 a day for more of the same, but in style.
