To make the most of your trip, I highly recommend reading up on Istanbul and Bursa! For Istanbul, consider "Istanbul: Memories and the City" by Orhan Pamuk for a literary and historical journey through the city. "Rick Steves Istanbul" is an excellent guidebook for practical tips and walking tours. For Bursa and the Ottoman heritage, "Strolling Through Istanbul" by Hilary Sumner-Boyd and John Freely covers both cities in depth. Additionally, Lonely Planet's "Turkey" guidebook is a great resource for both destinations. If you love history, "Osman's Dream: The History of the Ottoman Empire" by Caroline Finkel provides fascinating context for your Bursa visit. Happy travels!

Stay

About the destination: Istanbul owes its historical significance and its incredible cultural and architectural heritage to its perfect strategic location, straddling the Bosphorus straits which separate Europe and Asia Minor. Throughout most of its 2,500-year-long history, the city (first known as Byzantium, then as Constantinople and since 1930 as Istanbul) was a cultural melting pot. Today, its population of over 13 million is almost exclusively Turkish, and many of its people are recent migrants from provincial Turkey, drawn by the promise of jobs and careers in this vibrant, rapidly growing city. Istanbul is no longer the nation's capital, but is Turkey's economic and cultural powerhouse - a status emphasised by its role as a European City of Culture in 2010 and the award of UNESCO World Heritage listing to many of its most important landmarks, which range from stunning Ottoman mosques and Byzantine churches and catacombs to the columns of Hellenistic temples and the remains of massive medieval city walls. But there's more to Istanbul than Byzantine and Ottoman heritage. A rapidly growing economy has contributed to a thriving arts and music scene, with a wealth of new bars, clubs, private art galleries, restaurants and designer fashion outlets.
