Istanbul – between two continents, one single rhythm
Istanbul embraces you in constant motion: minarets and domes drawing the skyline over the Bosphorus, ferries linking Europe and Asia, and streets where history and the present meet at every step. In Sultanahmet, Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque set the tone of an imperial world, while Topkapi Palace opens courtyards scented with jasmine and filled with sultans’ stories. A few stops away, Galata rises with its tower above cafés and studios, and Istiklal Avenue hums with red trams, bohemian shops, and museums. Karaköy, Balat, and Fener add colorful façades, galleries, and murals, while on the Asian shore, Kadıköy and Üsküdar keep the local rhythm alive, with fish markets, tea houses, and long sunsets.
