...those who have never played it, GTA3 (as its fans affectionately call it) sounds like just another escapist shoot-'em-up, a virtual urban war game for suburban armchair delinquents. But while most video games put you in a fantastic setting--say, a blue maze full of dots--GTA3 is set in Liberty City, a metropolis as realistic and richly detailed as Dickens' London, with weather that changes hourly and carefully rendered litter tumbling down its meticulously drawn streets.

This small area is jam-packed with wonders and best explored on foot. Until recently, many treasures were locked away or poorly exhibited. But the city's museums are improving. Topkapi Palace contains carpets, jewels, ceramics and other imperial items. The Archaeology Museum next door houses...
