Күн бұрынRick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2008 | In Istanbul, we'll lose our way in the Grand Bazaar and munch our way through the famously fragrant Spice Market. We'll follow the fall of the ancient capital of Byzantium and the rise of Islam at the city's ancient wall, and wander among the treasures of Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, and Topkapı Palace. To escape the city bustle, we'll cruise the churning waters of the Bosphorus, make friends over backgammon, and try a traditional Turkish bath. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #istanbul

I was able to celebrate my 50th birthday in Istanbul with my family earlier this summer. It was the trip of a lifetime! I wish I had gone sooner, but I think I wouldn't have appreciated it as much if I did. Watching this video and reflecting on all the history and cultural convergence stirs a lot of emotions that are hard to articulate. The portion of this video starting at 23:05 absolutely moves me to tears. Each night, I did what Rick suggests: walk the length of Istiklal Caddesi and watch the people. The vibe is unique to Istanbul and I'm so thankful I got to experience it. Istanbul truly is a crossroads of humanity! Sending much love from the U.S.A.

The Ottomans' greatest success = they made Istanbul the capital city of the world: beautiful, rich, breath-taking, overwhleming, crowded yet peaceful, and mystic where the material and the soul meet. Love you Istanbul. Love from Algeria ♥♥♥.

I've been to Istanbul over 5 years ago and probably one of my favorite cities in the world. Topkapi Palace, Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia and Gulhane Park are all next to each other. There are other mosques like Sulemainye, Ayup Sultan (the Pierre Lotti Cable ride is located here too) and Rustem Pasha (this mosque is hidden close to the Spice Market and New Mosque). The Golden Horn is good where we started our Bosphorus Cruise and seen the main Bridge, and on one side there is Rumeli Fortress. We went to the Asian side of Istanbul and up to Camlica Hill to view the Europe side of Istanbul. We went to the fish restaurant underneath the Galata Bridge as well. Went up Galata Tower to view the main sites, Golden Horn and Bosphorus Strait. The Grand Bazaar is must-do place to buy some good stuff and has nice cafes. And yes we went around and inside Dolmabahce Palace too. Went to Taksim Square too. The food in Istanbul is fabolous

This gentleman i.e. Rick Steves, has been discovering numerous countries since many decades, I discovered him by chance -- just a few weeks ago. I love to watch all his travel stories. It's really a blessing. I have been a mariner for 14 years. Many of his travelogues remind of my own voyages.

finally a documentary showing istanbul as it is. Not only zooming on head-scarved people. like trying to engineer the image of our country, abroad. For decades that was done by western documentary directors. Finally there are open eyed western media coming to our land. finally we can understand each other. thank you Rick Steves.

Heading to Istanbul this September' which will be my 7th trip to this wonderful city. I have been to other countries but after my first visit to Turkey, I knew that I wouldn't be visiting any other country ever again. Each time I visit Istanbul, I discover something new about this timeless city. Hopefully, the worst of COVID-19 will be over with by the time I arrive. And unfortunately, futbol (soccer) season will be over with by the time I arrive. Nothing more fun than going to a Turkish (Galatasaray) futbol match!
