Turkey · best April-June and September-October
A city that split itself across two continents and never bothered to pick a side — minarets pierce the skyline over the Bosphorus while ferry horns compete with the call to prayer. Istanbul doesn't perform history for tourists; it just keeps living on top of it, layer after layer, Byzantine mosaics under Ottoman tile under someone's espresso bar.
Sultanahmet
The old imperial core — Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, and Topkapi Palace within walking distance of each other.

Beyoğlu / Karaköy
