Hey guys, I just bought some cheap last minute tickets to Istanbul

How much did you pay and from which city and website?

I'm interested in this too. I have been debating between Athens and Istanbul.

Blue Mosque, Grand Bazaar, the old royal palace, eating anywhere on the Bosporus, see some of the old palaces on the water, see the old city walls, eat under that famous bridge at wherever, if possible take a boat up the channel... If a shoeshine drops a brush in front of you punt it into the road.

It's an outstanding city.
Eat eat eat.
Fish restaurants at Galata Bridge. Baked potatoes in Ortaköy. Check out Anthony Bourdain's episode on Istanbul.

Go to Princes' Islands. Check out Trotskij's old villa.

Check out the bazaar.

Read up on 1000 years of history and go look at all the places.

Go cruise up the Bosphorus. Check out the sights and the groovy villas.

Sit by the water and watch the ships go by. With any luck a Slava or Kirov or Udaloy will pass by.

Somewhere under the city are some fucking spectacular bits of of Eastern Roman water infrastructure. Google kindly informs me one is called the Basilica Cistern, and it's going on my own list of places to visit.

Pic indeed related.
