Help me maximize my Istanbul time

0
0
It turns out that the least bad of pretty terrible options for getting from Capetown to Ouagadougou on the day I want is via a 12 hour layover in Istanbul. Help me make the best use of my time! I have seen this question and perhaps even more relevant, this one. Unfortunately, I'm looking at somewhat less time than that person - I land at 5:20am, take off at 5:45pm.

I've already gone online and gotten the e-visa, so I won't have to make that stop at the airport at least. Other than that, what do I do? Where do I go? How long will it take? Do I just grab taxis off the street? How hard will it be to change money? About how much should I change? When do I need to get back to the airport*? Help me create a plan that lets me see some of the best of what Istanbul has to offer without having it all end in a frantic rush to make my connection.

*Do I need to grab my checked baggage then re-check it? I hope not, but I've never left the airport between connections like this.
