Istanbul

Istanbul is one of the world's most captivating cities — a place where East meets West, ancient meets modern, and every neighbourhood tells a different story. Straddling two continents across the Bosphorus strait, Istanbul has served as the capital of empires for centuries, leaving behind an extraordinary tapestry of culture, architecture, and cuisine.

The city is home to iconic landmarks that have defined civilisations: the Hagia Sophia, a 6th-century basilica turned mosque whose massive dome has dominated Istanbul's skyline for nearly 1,500 years; the Blue Mosque with its cascading domes and six minarets; and the vast Grand Bazaar, one of the world's oldest and largest covered markets with over 4,000 shops. Beyond the historic peninsula, vibrant neighbourhoods like Beyoğlu, Beşiktaş, and Nişantaşı pulse with contemporary art galleries, boutique hotels, and some of Turkey's finest restaurants.
