Istanbul · History
From Byzantium to the Sublime Porte: fifteen centuries of power
From the emperors' racetrack to the Orient Express terminus, by way of an empire's mile zero and the gate that gave its name to the Ottoman government.
Istanbul · Mysteries & legends
Talismans, Medusas and weeping columns
A serpent column that warded off snakebites, relics beneath a porphyry pillar, Medusa heads in the dark and a priest who, tradition says, took refuge inside a wall.
Istanbul · Essentials
From the Blue Mosque to Galata Tower
Imperial mosques, great bazaars and the bridge over the Golden Horn: the Istanbul every traveller wants to see, in a single walk.
