The Galata Bridge which spans the Golden Horn is the perfect symbol for
todays Istanbul, which has always been at the crossroads of the old and
the new and of east and west. Part open-air museum, part modern
metropolis, it has been exposed to numerous cultural influences over the
millennia, each leaving behind a little of their essence. This brand-new
guide in the bestselling CITIX60 series explores everything Istanbul has
to offer an open-minded traveler, from the modernism of Atatrk Cultural
Centre, to the neoclassicism of the Haydarpa?a Terminal. Lose yourself
in Yelde?irmeni, where international street artists make their mark, or
the Dolapdere Sunday Market where treasures can be found for a pittance.
