I just got late minute notice that I'm headed to Istanbul for work.  Anyone been there and if so, what are the must sees? 


TIA!

You have to see the blue mosque and the Hagia Sophia both buildings are amazing.  Another touristy type site that is a little less known is the cistern that is under the city.  I thought it was cool how they had reused stones from other buildings to make the columns.  There is also a huge market you should check out.  It is covered, but not heated or anything.  Be prepared to do some hard bargining and have a lot of people try to get you to come into their shop, but there is some good stuff. Let me know if you have any questions.  Have fun!!
