Experience 'amazing' contrasts in Istanbul
17 May 2011
One of the most 'amazing' aspects of Istanbul is the contrast between its ancient and modern characteristics, according to the Turkish Culture and Tourism Office.
Joanna Marsh, a spokeswoman for the organisation, said that Istanbul is 'one of those cities which everyone has on their list of places to visit at least once in their lifetime'.
She pointed out that the destination offers history and culture, as well as 'great' restaurants and nightlife.
People planning a trip to Istanbul will have the opportunity to enjoy a range of experiences representing the different sides of the city.
'Head to a traditional Turkish Bath, visit Topkapi Palace and the Blue Mosque, but also make time to eat out at one of the swanky restaurants on the Bosphorus or in the trendy area of Beyoglu and visit more contemporary attractions such as the Museum of Modern Art,' Ms Marsh advised.
The spokeswoman also described Istanbul as a 'great city for walking' and recommended taking a boat trip on the Bosphorus.
