You’ll hear this a lot but Istanbul is a city where east meets west. It’s that perfect blend of European and Asian cultures taking the best bits from both.
You’ll find a number of fascinating historic attractions, a rich and beautiful culture, and glorious views of the stunning Bosphorus. The architecture is on another level too – I could take photos in Istanbul all day long.
One of the best ways of getting to the heart of Istanbul is through its food. Asian spices are used in western dishes to create flavours unlike anywhere else in the world and the food is downright delicious here. I feature a couple of food tours in my guide to the best tours in Istanbul, so make sure you check that out.
