The most striking feature of Istanbul's history is that it was the capital of three universal empires such as the Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman Empires.

Surrounded by the Golden Horn, the Bosphorus, and the Sea of ​​Marmara, the Historic Peninsula should be your first travel destination, as it is the place where the city of Istanbul was first established. While visiting places such as Topkapi, Hagia Sophia, Sultanahmet, and the Grand Bazaar here, the historical peninsula will enchant you. After admiring the architectural wonders of the most famous Hagia Sophia and Sultanahmet, the cisterns are definitely worth a visit.

 Second Day/ Segundo día

Golden Horn, one of the most important trade centers of old Istanbul, is a place worthy of the second day of your trip.

The shores of the Golden Horn, one of the popular regions of the Historic Peninsula, have this name because of their long and narrow, horn-shaped geographical structure. The shores of the Golden Horn, where the water turns golden at sunset, are surrounded by beautiful parks and walking areas.

"Fener", an old Greek district, and "Balat", an old Jewish district right next to it, have a rich historical heritage.

Afterward, you can relieve the tiredness of the day with a drink something in the cafe named after the French writer Pierre Loti, which is the best area to watch the famous panorama of the Golden Horn.

El Cuerno de Oro, uno de los centros comerciales más importantes de la antigua Estambul, es un lugar digno del segundo día de tu viaje.

Las orillas del Cuerno de Oro, una de las regiones populares de la Península Histórica, tienen este nombre debido a su estructura geográfica larga y estrecha en forma de cuerno. Las orillas del Cuerno de Oro, donde el agua se vuelve dorada al atardecer, están rodeadas de hermosos parques y áreas para caminar.

"Fener", un antiguo barrio griego, y "Balat", un antiguo barrio judío justo al lado, tienen un rico patrimonio histórico.

Después, puedes aliviar el cansancio del día tomando algo en el café que lleva el nombre del escritor francés Pierre Loti, que es la mejor zona para contemplar la famosa panorámica del Cuerno de Oro.

 


  Third Day/ Tercer día

A trip would not be complete without visiting Istanbul's famous Istiklal Street and the legendary Galata Tower. You can see many churches in the Taksim area and to go up to the Galata tower and watch the magnificent view of Istanbul at sunset is priceless…

Istanbul's Kadıköy district, which houses many mansions, is famous for its fish market. Of course, a city with such a Bosphorus must also have a nice fish market J
