Frequently Asked Questions

A free travel guide that maps historic buildings, restaurants, bars and nature spots across Istanbul, and offers stop-by-stop walking routes.

Our editors choose the places — the kind we would take a friend visiting Istanbul for the first time. Not every place, just the ones worth going to.

Each place shows two separate ratings: the editor rating is our own assessment, and the Google rating is that venue's current score on Google Maps. We show them separately so you can judge for yourself.

Every coordinate is verified individually against the real business pin on Google Maps. We care about this because "Get directions" should take you to the venue's door, not the next street over.

Hours are checked regularly, but venues can change them without notice. If you are travelling a long way, we recommend confirming with the venue directly before you set out.

We only show it where we could verify it — for example when the venue's own menu has a drinks section, or where it is well established. Where we are unsure we show nothing at all, because we would rather give no information than wrong information.

On a route page, press "Walk the route" to move through it stop by stop, and use "Get directions" at each stop to navigate there. Routes are designed to be completed on foot.
