Once the capital of the Holy Roman Empire, today one of the most iconic cities in the world. Traces of Istanbul’s history can be seen everywhere - from the Hagia Sofia - once a site of coronations for the Byzantines, then a mosque for the Ottomans, and today a museum. The Obelisk in Sultanahmet square, a relic of ancient Egypt, is another must-see. Coffee lovers will love the unique Turkish coffee culture - enjoying the humble drink is truly an experience to savour. The street food culture is vibrant and suited for almost any taste. What's more, once you're done exploring the main city, you can enjoy day trips to various other destinations - we reccommend Cappadocia for the views. If you’re looking to visit Turkey, this is the place to go.
