In that case, you may have decided to book a hotel in the old city to be close to the tourist attractions, but make sure to venture outside of Sultanahmet and explore the city&#8217;s other neighbourhoods. To learn about local culture, we advise you to cross the Galata Bridge and explore Karak\u00f6y, Ukurcuma, and Galata.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Take a Bosphorus tour<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Without seeing Istanbul from the ocean, a trip there is not complete.
