Places to visit in Istanbul, Turkey

Visit some of my favorite places in one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

As someone who has visited many hot spots around the world, I personally believe that the capital of Turkey is one of the finest cities you can choose as your next traveling destination.

Istanbul is known for its unique weather and stunning night views, as well as delicious Turkish food.

The city is special because it is one of five cities in the world that straddle two continents. As a tourist, you can travel from one part to another using a cruise. Enjoy the scenic view and the water breeze.

To start, Turkish people are known for their culture that extends over a long time of history. If you want to get to know their culture, you should definitely plan a shopping trip. That way you will get to meet Turkish people, try their food and maybe buy some clothes and souvenirs for memories. The leading places for shopping in Istanbul are The Grand Bazaar, Besiktas, and Ortakoy.

Istanbul is also a very popular destination for sightseeing and touring museums. It's probably a good idea to visit Galata Tower if you are interested in seeing Istanbul from a high vantage point. Most Turkish shows feature the Galata tower, which is one of the oldest and most famous towers in Istanbul. Currently, the tower serves as a museum and exhibition space. However, its observatory deck has a 360 degrees view of Istanbul.

A night in Istanbul is enjoyable and never dull. In Istanbul, you can enjoy a dinner on the Bosporus with a cold breeze at night. If you are willing to dine on a cruise or in a restaurant overlooking the Bosphorus river, I can assure you that you are going to have a wonderful time.

The bottom line is that Istanbul is one of the best destinations to travel to. Shopping, sightseeing, or eating delicious dinners in Istanbul make the experience worthwhile.
