Emirgan Park
This beautiful walled-in park covers a massive area of 117 acres (470,000 m2), with multiple ponds and 120 species of flora and fauna you won't find in many other parks in the city.
Every spring the park is a center for the city's tulip festival, with every color of tulip imaginable planted in beautifully decorative arrangements. Take a selfie from the top of the hill with the Blue of the Bosphorus in the background and a beautiful flower arrangement in the foreground!
Ortaköy
Ortaköy marks one of the most pretty districts anywhere along the Bosphorus, and the view of the bridge to the Asian side of the city in the background with the Ortaköy Mosque, officially the Büyük Mecidiye Camii, right up against you is one of the most breathtaking views you'll find anywhere in the city.
Büyük Valide Han
This is one of the more secret selfie spots in the city, but ultimately it's still maybe the best. Climb up through this secret passageway right up to the top of the Historic Peninsula and find yourself all alone on a rooftop with the whole city before you!
Most tourists don't know about it so keep it a secret before you post the best selfie anyone's taken in the city on Instagram and show the whole world!
Basilica Cistern
This stunning Byzantine Cistern has played host to numerous films, James Bond included, due the mystery it evokes and the beauty of its caverns.
Take a shot with the perfect shadowy lighting to show just how deep and dark into the pit of Istanbul you've explored!
Grand Bazaar
Whether you're taking a shot of yourself in front of spices, ceramics, carpets, wedding dresses, or anything else under the sun, "the oldest shopping mall in the world" is definitely a spot for a Selfie you'll find nowhere else!
Wander through the maze of this giant bazaar until you find the spot that looks perfect just for you!
You'll have to take a boat out to this one, but it's totally worth it! Take the boat right out to the Maiden's Tower, now a restaurant/café, and take a selfie right in the middle of the Bosphorus from one of its most iconic history spots!
Hagia Sophia
Arguably the most famous building in the world, a shot from inside the Haghia Sophia or outside puts you right in the heart of Istanbul UNESCO World Heritage historic peninsula and in a 1,500-year-old masterpiece!
This street is the beating heart of the city, and whenever, wherever you take your shot from you're sure to find hordes of people on all sides of you with Beyoğlu's classic Victorian architecture in the background.
