The things I forgot to write here

Some important additions to this amazing guide;
1.If you want to witness the conquest of Istanbul, I
strongly recommend you to visit the panoramic museum in
the Topkapi City Park.

2.If you want  to visit Istanbul Military Museum. The
Janissary Band gives concert in traditional uniforms
each afternoon.Dont miss it!

3.I cant imagine a programme which doesnt include
Maiden's Tower.

4.If you have enough time, you'd better to visit
Beylerbeyi Palace.It is near the base of Bosphorus
Bridge on the Asian side.
