Istanbul is a polycentric city with 8 hearts.
The biggest is Sultan Ahmet (sights and shopping).
Top picks: Beyoğlu for nightlife, sights, and food, Sultan Ahmet for shopping.
First time here? Staying around Beyoğlu makes sense.
For better prices, look at walkable-ring areas such as Beşiktaş (12 min) and Şişli (18 min).
