Ataşehir is a district on the Asian side of Istanbul, developed relatively recently as a planned business and residential area. It holds a growing financial district of towers and is residential and corporate rather than historic.
There are no historic sights within the district, which is modern Istanbul at work. The historic peninsula with Hagia Sophia and the Topkapı Palace lies across the Bosphorus, and the Asian-side neighbourhoods of Kadıköy and Üsküdar are closer and full of character.
Metro lines serve the district and cross under the Bosphorus to the European side. Ferries from the nearby Asian shore are the most pleasant way to cross, and traffic on the ring roads is consistently heavy.
Spring and autumn are much the most comfortable in Istanbul. Summers are hot and humid, and winters are cold and damp with occasional snow.
