Where To Stay In Istanbul: 6 Best Areas To Stay In Istanbul And Best Hotels
Are you looking for where to stay in Istanbul? You are in the right place. I have visiting the Turkish city multiple times, each time staying at a different Istanbul hotel, and checked out all the best areas to stay in Istanbul, and in this post I will help you pick the best place to stay in Istanbul for you.
Istanbul is a frenetic meeting place of East and West. It’s long been a spot where cultures and civilizations have crossed paths; met and exchanged everything from ideas to cuisine over the centuries.
Because of this history as a point of trade, the city streets are rich with influences from all over the ancient world. Romans, the Byzantines, and later the Ottoman Empire have left their mark, but so have the many nationalities of traders who carved out enclaves for themselves.
Working out where to stay in Istanbul can be difficult at first. There’s a variety of different districts, each with their own identity and history.
To start with, the best thing to do is take into consideration the type of trip you’re taking. It might be the first time you visit Istanbul, or you may only have a weekend; perhaps it’s a family trip, or you’re splashing out on a couple’s vacation. Each district will suit different types of vacations.
Here’s a helpful guide to some of the best places to stay in Istanbul, and other accommodation options, as well as bitesize overviews of the best areas to stay in Istanbul to help you get started planning your trip.
