Historic buildings that bear witness to the richness of the past
Istanbul attracts thousands of tourists from all over the world with its historical places and architecture that reflect its multicultural identity and rich history. Due to its strategic location, the city, which has been home to many civilizations throughout history, also has many historic buildings that bear witness to different eras and cultures. The “historic peninsula” is home to many of the city’s iconic buildings. Surrounded on one side by the ancient city walls and on the other by the Bosphorus, the Sea of Marmara and the Golden Horn, the peninsula attracts tourists and travelers with the Hippodrome, Hagia Sophia, the Basilica Cistern, Blue Mosque, Istanbul Archeology Museum and Topkapı Palace.
The towers of Istanbul are also must-see attractions. Galata Tower, a famous structure in Istanbul’s skyline, offers incredible panoramic views of the city from its observation floor. On the other hand, the Maiden’s Tower, an emblematic structure of Istanbul’s Bosphorus, and recently renovated, allows its visitors to observe the beautiful city of Istanbul from a totally different point of view.

Istanbul, known for its rich historical heritage, is a real treasure for art lovers, with its museums that combine the cultural dynamism of the time with traditions, its modern art galleries, its cultural centers, its streets welcoming artists and designers, its concert halls, and an ever-growing number of cultural and artistic events. Before visiting Istanbul, it is advisable to check the June calendars of modern art centers such as the Atatürk Cultural Center (AKM) and Istanbul Santral to reserve seats for different shows and events. It is also possible to take the pulse of contemporary art by visiting museums such as the Pera Museum, the Atlas Cinema Museum and the Istanbul Modern Museum.
A food culture that surprises all travelers
From the tables of starred chefs to the simplest but most delicious dishes, Istanbul is a true paradise for all gourmands. This is what makes Istanbul one of the best foodie cities in the world. Turkish cuisine, shaped by the many cultures that Istanbul has hosted over the centuries, is one of the main reasons to visit this city.
