The Museum Pass Istanbul is a nominative card that covers all Istanbul's national museums, 13 in all (available on the website). The Basilica Cistern, Dolmabahçe Palace and Leander Tower are not included. The card is valid for five days from the date of first use. The card gives you access to discounts in souvenir stores and cafés. It can be purchased at any national museum, but we don't recommend Topkapı because of the crowds. It is possible to register online.

A collective of French-speaking and Francophiles Turkish Turks is at the origin of this pleasant site that has been working for many years for a greater development of the Franco-Turkish friendship. History, civilization, humour and stories of Turkish Turks populate the site of White Blue. Unavoidable.

Commercial site but full of information about ethnic music, turners turners and their ceremonies, calligraphy and miniature. Very informative, in Turkish, French and English.

After spending more than seven years in Istanbul, the author of this site had to share his passion for the city. This site is very comprehensive and offers a slightly shifted but still fair approach of the istanbul society. From transportation to culinary specialties, all or almost everything has been reviewed.

This collective, specialized in the organisation of musical events, has worked hard for the coming of world-renowned artists in Turkey, be it in trendy clubs or festivals. Thanks to Pozitif, Istanbul youth can now wiggle at the rhythm of the most trendy artists in the international music scene.

Metin Özcelik is a professional guide working for the municipality but also on its own account. He speaks English but also has French-speaking contacts.

Several information about the city. Also a cultural centre trying to preserve the Kurdish musical Tradition Dengbêji. Every Saturday between 17 a. m. and 19 p. m., dengbêjs meet to sing together or alternately on the themes of love or heroism. Event (free) very expected and guaranteed emotions.
