Straddling the Bosphorus where Europe meets Asia, Istanbul is a city of striking contrasts. A vibrant metropolis with chic boutiques, trendy restaurants, and lively nightlife, it also has a rich past. This melting pot of cultures, traditions, and flavours offers extraordinary experiences for every traveller.
Take a trip between continents
The Bosphorus Strait separates Europe from Asia, making Istanbul one of the few cities spanning two continents. A cruise along this historic waterway has long been a visitor favourite. In summer, sunshine illuminates a skyline featuring majestic Ottoman palaces, ancient fortresses, modern bridges, and elegant mansions. A sunset cruise, with the city’s lights reflecting on the water, creates an unforgettable experience.
Take a journey back through time
Istanbul has been the capital of the Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman empires, with each era adding layers to its history. The magnificent Hagia Sophia, with its enormous dome and legacy, is an iconic symbol of this heritage. The Blue Mosque captivates with its exquisite tiles and soaring minarets, while Topkapı Palace offers a glimpse into the opulent lives of Ottoman sultans with its expansive courtyards and sweeping Bosphorus views.
A shopper’s paradise
No visit to Istanbul is complete without exploring the Grand Bazaar, one of the world’s oldest and largest covered markets. With over 4,000 shops, it offers intricate carpets, handcrafted jewellery, Turkish delights, spices, and unique souvenirs. The nearby Spice Bazaar enriches the experience with colourful stalls and aromatic spices, while modern shopping streets provide upscale fashion and contemporary designs.
Taste real Türkiye
Istanbul is renowned for its diverse culinary scene. Begin with a traditional Turkish breakfast of fresh bread, olives, cheeses, honey, and Turkish tea. For lunch, enjoy a hearty pide or spiced kebab. In the afternoon, indulge in baklava paired with Turkish coffee. As evening falls, dine at one of many rooftop restaurants where world-class cuisine is served with breathtaking views of the city and the Bosphorus.
