 Not enough info on the sights October 17, 2008
We spent 6 days on holiday in Istanbul, in Sept 08. The Time Out guide was much less useful than our other book (Eyewitness).
The best part of this book is the section on the history of the city: interesting and entertaining - just what a good guide book should be.
But there isn't enough detail about the historical sights. For example, about one and a half pages are devoted to Haghia Sophia - Istanbul's foremost attraction. Meanwhile there is a 4-page section on Gay & Lesbian life in the city, including rather too much detail about what goes on in certain hammams.
If the balance had been the other way around, it would have been a much more useful book for our visit.
 Time out guides are tops for city breaks June 13, 2001
28 out of 33 found this review helpful
Time Out guides are the best single guides for city breaks and the Istanbul guide is a case in point. Accomodation and entertainment listings are critical and comprehensive and the information for tourists informative and helpful. However the maps at the back could be more useful. For a visual guide to the city look at DK. Anyone from a week-end tourist to a long term expat would find this invalubale.
