Offering a unique blend of the old and the new, Istanbul is a traveler’s dream destination. The city is home to a plethora of architectural marvels, including the iconic Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. For a more authentic experience, visit the Grand Bazaar, which dates back to the 15th century and offers a wide variety of goods. Be sure to indulge in Turkish cuisine, which is known for its mouth-watering kebabs, baklava, and Turkish delight.

 

Things to do in Istanbul

Basilica Cistern

Basilica Cistern

One of the city’s most popular attractions, the Basilica Cistern was built in 532 and is the largest surviving cistern in Istanbul. The number of columns and the impeccable symmetry is a staggering sight and a must see, making a great escape on hot summer days.

Blue Mosque

Blue Mosque

Built between 1609 and 1616 during the rule of Ahmed I, the Blue Mosque is named for its hand-painted blue tiles on the interior walls, and the blue lights that illuminate it at night. A walk around this impressive structure is truly awe inspiring- don’t forget to adhere to the dress code though.

Dolmabahce Palace

Dolmabahce Palace

This magnificent structure took 13 years to build and was the administrative centre of the Ottoman Empire. Take a tour of the entire palace or different sections and discover the exquisite decoration (particularly the 4.5 tonne chandelier) and the painting museum.

Misir Carsisi

Misir Carsisi

Selling countless varieties of Turkish delight, Mısır Çarşısı Market (also known as Spice Bazaar) is a fantastic place to find souvenirs, spices, snacks and stories from warm, friendly vendors. Whether you’re looking to buy or not, exploring the market is a great way to be immersed in the culture and atmosphere of Istanbul.
