About Istanbul

Sitting across two continents and between two seas, Istanbul is a vibrant, colourful culture-clash of East meets West and modern meets ancient. The grandeur of palaces and mansions sits next to concrete high-rises and humble wooden villas. Peaceful mosques are surrounded by bustling streets and daredevil drivers. And the city’s deep religious roots are honoured alongside its vibrant and hedonistic nightlife scene. It’s these chaotic contradictions that leave Istanbul simmering with an electric undercurrent of energy that has captivated visitors for centuries. This is a city that never stops moving, that promises to steal your heart and leave you with a sense of magic and wonder.

The city’s historic bazaars give you colourful insight into the way of life in Istanbul. The Grand Bazaar is one of the largest and oldest covered markets in the world, with over 4,000 shops, and attracting up to 400,000 visitors daily. You’ll find all sorts of things here, such as ceramic plates, ornamental lamps, hand-knotted rugs (haggling is all part of the experience), as well as lots of traditional Turkish coffee, tea and sweet stalls.

For those in search of a more relaxing pursuit, head to a hammam – grand Turkish bathhouses that use heat, water and massage to revive mind, body and soul. Hammams have been part of the cultural fabric of this city for centuries, and most hammams also offer luxurious aromatherapy oil massages and revitalising spa treatments, followed by a space to lounge with traditional sweet tea.
