About Istanbul and city sightseing in istanbul

 Istanbul is the only city in the world that has two different continents, it is huge. you will love Istanbul and can easily admit to a major addiction for this
characteristic destination. cultural history and significance. So many tourists visit and enjoy adventures through the city, some of them even make it ‘home’, buying a
property in Istanbul or simply spending months seeing all the sights in this city, there are really so much to do.   The favourite things about Istanbul, there are also the reasons why you can say with pride, “I love Istanbul”   




You will soon realise that locals love their food! With many of choices from the old favourites such as Burger King and McDonalds, to local humble eateries serving

traditional Turkish food at cheap prices, food in Istanbul is amazing.   When choosing a restaurant, most tourists look to restaurants around the Sultan Ahmet district and other touristic areas – But, as with most tourist areas, these can

be higher prices than traditional local restaurants.   checking out Feriye Restaurant that has a fabulous location, overlooking the Bosphorus in Ortakoy. Sitting in a picturesque 19th century building, the menu offers

traditional Ottoman dishes with a modern twist; Feriye Restaurant is also famous for its amazing seafood dishes.

 

Listed Museums 

Istanbul is a city with so much history, previously ruled by Romans and Ottomans alike. With that said, museums are rich in artefacts and have massive cultural significance.   Being such a colourful and cultural city, We recomend you to go with the Istanbul Modern Museum, Hagia sophia, Topkapi palace, islamic art museum, and Art Gallery as the number one museum to see. Located in a converted warehouse, the museum has fantastic views over the Bosphorus and represents the modern side of Istanbul, located amongst all that history.  

Listed Shopping Location  

If you are looking to go shopping in Istanbul, there is simply just one place to head to – the Grand Bazaar. The Grand Bazaar has more than 4000 shops that can cater

for any budget and any shopping tastes – It is a woman’s dream and a man’s nightmare.   When shopping in the Grand Bazaar, many tourists are afraid to haggle for price, but be brave and haggle!   You will be surprised at the sudden discounts that become available when you raise a question or doubt about purchasing.   Shopping for anything from jewellery, carpet, clothes, artwork, souvenirs, and even spices and groceries – prices are reasonable and choices are spoilt.

 

Historic Site

 Again, the history of Istanbul mean that historic sites are literally everywhere! There is the famous Topkapi Palace, which is more than three centuries and was once

the home of the Ottoman Empire. Don’t forget about the great Galata Tower which stands tall on the skyline and offers fantastic views across the city.   But, if you have to choose one fantastic historical site for tourists to see, we will recomend you to go with the Blue Mosque (Sultan Ahmet Camii). This is probably

THE image of Istanbul. Postcards and posters worldwide all portray this image when advertising the city. The six tall minarets of the Blue Mosque make it a must see.

If you go to Istanbul without taking a trip to see the Blue Mosque, well, you might  as well have never gone in the first place, it is spectacular.  

My Personal Choice for Getting About   Well, you would not go to London without checking out the London Underground, you would not go to New York without going on the famous Subway system. The same goes for

Istanbul.   We would highly recommend using the many transport systems available in the city. The Metro System is easily accessed and has two lines serving the city with links to Taksim Square and Tunel Square.   However, no trip to Istanbul is complete without a journey, or two, on what can only be defined as a sea bus! When travelling around, you will see that traffic

sometimes gets the better of you, and can really cause problems. Therefore, many people choose to join Bosphorus cruise which is a mst for travellers. Maybe it will be good idea to have night cruises with dinner and show.
