Istanbul, straddling Europe and Asia, is a cultural powerhouse where history meets hustle. From the Hagia Sophia’s ancient domes to the Grand Bazaar’s vibrant chaos, it’s a city of contrasts. Ottoman and Byzantine legacies shine through spicy kebabs, Turkish coffee, and whirling dervish shows. Cruise the Bosphorus, shop in Nişantaşı, or chill in Beyoğlu’s cafés—Istanbul’s energy is electric and unforgettable.
