Charming, diverse and colourful. Istanbul is a city where you can feel the influence of Eastern and Western cultures, enjoy delicious food and immerse yourself in a lively city life that has its own unique charm and flavour.

This Turkish city has a long history, incredible architecture, and hospitable people who are happy to show travellers the best of their city. Wyandotte Daily presents 10 places in Istanbul that are worthy of tourists' attention.

Hagia Sophia

Hagia Sophia is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that reflects the special style and craftsmanship of Byzantine architecture. First a basilica, then an imperial mosque, and finally a museum, this building surprises and inspires every traveller who comes here.

Grand Bazaar

This is one of the oldest indoor markets in the world, with more than 4000 shops selling a variety of goods. Here you can bargain with local vendors to buy handmade items such as textiles or jewelry.

Cruise on the Bosphorus

A cruise along the Bosphorus Strait is a must-do part of a visit to Istanbul. This atmospheric walk will allow you to better see the beauty of the city and immerse yourself in its atmosphere.

Basilica Cisterns

The Basilica Cisterns are the underground water reservoirs of Constantinople, which look very much like a real palace complex that has been well preserved to this day. This hidden gem of the city has a mysterious and slightly eerie atmosphere that gathers visitors from all over the world.

Traditional Turkish dinner

The local cuisine is one of the most interesting in the world, which is represented by a wide variety of delicious dishes. In local restaurants, you can taste juicy kebabs, delicious desserts, and drink delicious tea.

Souvenirs at the Arasta Bazaar

Quality products and goods await travellers at the Arasta Bazaar. It is located in the Blue Mosque complex in the lively and historic district of the city.

Istiklal Street

This is a pedestrian street that offers tourists a closer look at the local culture. Here you can taste delicious street food, stroll past local shops, and see amazing views of the entire city and the Galata Tower.

Museum of Turkish and Islamic Arts

This museum has a large collection of local art. In particular, here you can see interesting ceramics, handmade carpets, manuscripts, and other things that form an idea of the history of the region.

Maiden Tower

This tower is an important historical structure that stands on a small island in the middle of the Bosphorus. It is worth going here at sunset to see the incredible views of the evening city.

Spice market

Bright spices are available at this market. They reveal the unique flavour of local cuisine and fascinate travellers with their aromas.
