Istanbul in 5 days: the only city in the world straddling two continents, without falling into tourist traps

Istanbul is not "the door to Asia" — it is both sides at once, and travelers who treat it as a European destination miss half the trip. In 5 days you can cover the historic side, the bohemian side, the Asian local side, and a traditional hamam without falling into tourist traps. This guide is written for someone arriving at IST having never seen the city, with a fluctuating currency and the goal of leaving saying they understood it — not just "passed through."
