Istanbul City Break Excellent 4* Radisson Hotel Monday 17 April 2023 (5 Days) PRICE DROP....REDUCED TO £799
Bridging Europe and Asia and packing an epic history, Istanbul is one of the world’s great cities! Its imperial legacy and rich cultural traditions make it an enthralling destination for any tourist. One of the most incredible things about Istanbul is the living history you find on every corner. As you lose yourself in the colourful stalls of the Grand Bazaar or soak up the panoramic views from Galata Tower, you will be reminded that thousands of people have done likewise over the millennia that the city has existed.
The city straddles the Bosphorus Strait at the convergence of Europe and Asia Minor—or, where east meets west both geographically and culturally. Today, the city is largely Turkish but has a largely cosmopolitan feel due to its 14 million inhabitants. Along with its historic monuments and palaces, Istanbul has a flourishing arts and music scene peppered with trendy bars, clubs, art galleries, and designer fashion outlets. UNESCO has declared much of the old city area UNESCO World Heritage sites, including the Hagia Sophia cathedral, Sarayburnu, and Topkapi Palace. Travellers can cross from Europe to Asia at the Bosphorus Strait with no passport required. Here they'll find the district of Kadiköy, which features bustling street markets, good shopping, and an up-and-coming dining scene.
Sultanahmet is the oldest part of Istanbul and remains the city’s heart and soul. You’ll find some of the most iconic attractions on any Turkey itinerary in this area, such as the Blue Mosque and the Hagia Sophia! It’s an incredibly atmospheric area, with cobbled alleyways and proximity to the waters running through the city
