Vibrant markets, striking architecture and pink skies are just a few of the delights of the Turkish capital, Istanbul.

Istanbul has its fair share of designer boutiques but its vibrant markets are the real draw for keen shoppers. The Grand Bazaar in the old city centre will give you a chance to practise haggling and bag yourself a bargain.Â

Take the short walk from here to the Spice Bazaar, a foodie paradise. Expect to see colourful heaps of spices, a myriad of Turkish Delight, oils, fresh fish and more.
Shopping and Culture
Choosing hotels near Istiklal Caddesi (another shopping hub of the city) will keep you close to the boulevard packed with shops, restaurants, bars, clubs, art galleries, cafes, churches and mosques. From here, you can hop on the traditional 19th-Century tram which trundles along from Taksim Square to Tünel Square.
Discover the fascinating history of Istanbul by visiting the beautiful 17th Century Blue Mosque (Sultan Ahmed Mosque), its interiors adorned by blue tiles. The mosque manages to maintain its sacred atmosphere despite tourism and boasts 6 minarets and an impressive courtyard.
History and Architecture
If your cheap Istanbul hotel is near the Hagia Sophia you're in the best part of town for visiting the city's architectural delights.

While there, drop into the Treasury to see impressive gems, gold and works of art. Get there early to beat the queues (opens at 9am).
