Istanbul, Turkey’s largest city and cultural heart, is a vibrant metropolis that straddles two continents—Europe and Asia—offering a truly unique blend of ancient history, modern energy, and timeless beauty. A destination where mosques, palaces, and bazaars meet lively cafés, luxury five-star hotels, and cosmopolitan nightlife, Istanbul holidays are perfect for couples, culture lovers, foodies, and city explorers.
Wander through Sultanahmet, the city’s historic centre, and you’ll discover some of the world’s most iconic landmarks. The breathtaking Hagia Sophia, once a church, then a mosque, and now a museum-mosque, is a must-visit alongside the stunning Blue Mosque and the grand Topkapi Palace, the former residence of Ottoman sultans. Don’t miss the Basilica Cistern, an atmospheric underground chamber lined with ancient columns.
Istanbul is also a shopper’s paradise, from the traditional Grand Bazaar—a labyrinth of over 4,000 shops selling spices, carpets, jewellery, and leather goods—to upscale malls and trendy boutiques in Nişantaşı and Istiklal Avenue. For an authentic experience, head to the Spice Bazaar, where you can sample Turkish delight, dried fruits, teas, and aromatic spices.
The city’s rich culture is mirrored in its cuisine. Sample traditional dishes like kebabs, mezes, and baklava, or dine in chic rooftop restaurants overlooking the Bosphorus, the shimmering strait that separates Europe and Asia. A cruise along the Bosphorus offers stunning views of historic mansions, palaces, and city skylines.
Istanbul’s accommodation options range from luxurious hotels with spa facilities to boutique stays in the heart of the old city. The city is well connected, with Istanbul Airport and Sabiha Gökçen Airport serving international flights year-round.
Thanks to its mild spring and autumn weather, warm summers, and cultural festivities, Istanbul is a year-round destination. Whether you're visiting for a romantic break, a family adventure, or a cultural escape, Istanbul offers a rich tapestry of experiences in one unforgettable city.
