Blue Guide Istanbul

Istanbul in the Blue Guide Series is a cultural, literary and historical guide to the city at the crossroads of East and West, where Europe meets Asia. Focusing primarily on cultural tourism for the visitor who wishes to understand more of what they might see, the book provides thorough and objective reference information covering art, history and architecture. The guide features colour illustrations aimed to inform rather than just decorate, such as maps, diagrams, floor plans, architectural details and photographs. Cross referenced indexing means information is accessible and layout navigable. Selective listings of restaurants and accommodation are chosen in the belief that good, practical recommendations will contribute to the enjoyment of good art and culture.
