Explore Istanbul beyond the usual tourist paths with this heartfelt city guide. Created by the hosts behind LokalBond — a community that offers cooking, art, and culture experiences in local homes — this $1 guidebook helps you travel like a local from the moment you arrive.
Inside, you'll find handpicked spots to eat like a local, lesser-known museums, historic neighborhoods to wander, tea gardens you won’t find on Google, and stories that give you deeper cultural context. The guide also introduces you to meaningful activities, like sharing a meal with a Turkish family or learning marbling art from a passionate host.
As we say, “We made this to help people connect with Istanbul, not just visit it.” This is more than a city guide — it’s an invitation to step into real Turkish life, neighborhood by neighborhood.

Perfect for travelers who want to feel the heartbeat of the city, not just check off the sights.
