What to see in Istanbul

Istanbul is a city full of history and rich cultures in Turkey. The country itself is a unique destination for being both in Europe and Asia. That’s why it’s filled with beautiful architecture, buzzing bazaars, Turkish baths, and plenty of exciting things to see and do. Istanbul is a true feast for the senses.

Start your trip with time travel by visiting Istanbul’s ancient monuments. Find influences of the Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman eras at the Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, Basilica Cistern, and the Sultanahmet Mosque. Both the outside and inside will take your breath away.

Check out the contemporary art of Turkey at the Istanbul Modern. For life-size works of art, wander the city streets with your camera around Levent and Maslak. Don’t forget to visit the neighborhoods of Kurtulus, Nisantasi, and Osmanbey too.

Are you a bit tired from all the walking? Then go pamper yourself at a hamam (Turkish bath), which you can find in every neighborhood in Istanbul. And they’re so popular that you’ll enjoy a dip more than once during your trip, like most travelers who visit Istanbul.

Once you’re energized, go test your bargaining skills at the Grand Bazaar or the Egyptian Bazaar for great finds, souvenirs, and pasalubong. Remember to bring a good Turkish-English phrasebook too so you can easily talk to the locals and score even cheaper prices when shopping.

End your trip in Istanbul by seeing it bursting with colorful tulips at Sultanahmet Park, Gulhane Park, Emirgan Park, or Camlica Hill from late March to early May. They’ll add a splash of color to your travel photos
