Good but out of date

Found the guide useful and informative, but completely out of date on prices, and understandably centred on Sultanahmet. Information on ferries limited as I guess this changes a lot, but they and the trams such good value. New team routes being built as I write. Every ferry journey is special. Not sure I picked up on this from the book, but Topkapi Palace closed Tuesdays, and Blue Mosque internally hedging a lot of renovation so little to see. Found had restaurant guide ok, but, for example, there are numerous rooftop bars and restaurants, of varying quality, but....

I never bought a guide from Rough Guides before. I'm very happy i did.
In spite of being very small and a resume because it's a pocket guide it has all the essential information.

Furthermore is has a very good balance between text, history, maps, drawings and photos.
Recommended!
