Trip Themes: Istanbul, Long Weekends, and Holidays

To best prepare for this fantastic Istanbul experience, I recommend reading some guides and books about the city and its history. Among practical guides, I recommend the Lonely Planet Istanbul (also available in Italian) or the National Geographic Istanbul guide, both packed with tips, itineraries, and curiosities. If you want to immerse yourself in the city's culture and atmosphere, I recommend the novel Istanbul: Memoirs of a City by Orhan Pamuk, a Turkish Nobel laureate, which describes Istanbul with great passion and depth. Another interesting read is Graham Greene's Istanbul Train for those who love travel stories. If you prefer to listen, I also recommend some podcasts about Turkey and Istanbul, such as "Viaggiando Podcast" or "Storie di Istanbul." Enjoy the read and have a great trip!
