Current hot nightspots are the bars, cafes in the small sideroads off west side of Istikal road (south of Taksim). Graffiti, crowded, hip.

Basilica Cistern is a unique place to visit in Sultanahmet, a break from palaces and churches (low temperature, good break from hot days)

Public boat transport between European and Asiatic sides are great, cheap, easy ways to replace the tourist boat tours.

Navigating public transportation isn't hard; just remember that connecting between modes (tram, funicular, bus, etc) takes a bit of walking.

Sultanahmet is a great tourist area, but there are better, calmer places to stay on European side, south of Taksim Square.

Galata Tower, south of Taksim square, has best panoramic view of Istanbul. (skip the restaurant, just go to the viewing platform)
