Istanbul hotels and accommodation

Istanbul is one of the most magnificent cities in all the world. The Sultanahmet area of the city is the most popular for tourists and is where you’ll find a great many of Istanbul hotels. You could easily find enough to do in just this part of the city to keep you busy for a weekend. Istanbul has many other districts, too, and each is beautiful and unique. Medestino.com can help you find hotels in Istanbul, whether you’re looking for a five star luxury resort or one of the discount hotels Istanbul offers. If you’re on a budget, finding Istanbul cheap hotels is a great way to save cash.

Be certain to visit Hagia Sofia. It was originally built as a church, then became a mosque and was turned into a museum in 1935. From an architectural standpoint, you’ll find no more beautiful building in all the world. Next, enjoy a visit to Topkapi Palace, which is also an architectural wonder, but also home to a great museum. Gülhane Park is located on the slopes below the palace and extends to the seashore. This lovely park is home to a Gothic Column that is part of Byzantine ruins. You’ll often find outdoor concerts going on at this park. Yerebatan Sarayi is Istanbul’s largest underground cistern, and the only one open to the public. Not only will the coolness here give you a great break from the heat, but it’s a very interesting place for a stroll.
