🌆 2-Day Istanbul Travel Review: A City of Two Continents

📅 Day 1 – Heart of Modern Istanbul Started the day at Taksim Square, then strolled down Istiklal Caddesi, alive with cafes, shops, and street performers. Walked to Galata Tower for sweeping city views, then down to the elegant New Mosque and crossed the iconic Galata Bridge, watching fishermen and ferries glide by. Perfect mix of history and buzz! 📅 Day 2 – Historic & Asian Istanbul Explored the old city: Sultanahmet, with its majestic Blue Mosque and the legendary Hagia Sophia—both stunning inside and out. Took a ferry to the Asian side, explored vibrant Kadıköy and ended the day with a peaceful Bosphorus cruise at sunset. A dreamy way to see both sides of the city. 📌 Tip: Use Istanbulkart for easy transport, wear comfy shoes, and start early to beat the crowds. 🌟 Why Go? In just two days, Istanbul offers a taste of two worlds—East & West, ancient & modern, all stitched together by the Bosphorus. A city that leaves you wanting more.#localguides #familytrip #historicallandmarks #旅行酷体验
