🏞[Destination Guide] Istanbul 🧳Before you go: 💰Buy an Istanbul Pass to save time and money, avoid the hassle of queuing, and enjoy transportation services and additional discounts. 🛩️There are flights to Istanbul from all over the world. We recommend using a flight comparison tool to book cheap flights. 🚗Transportation: 🛩️From Istanbul's two major airports (Istanbul Airport and Sabiha Airport) to the city, you can choose airport buses, airport taxis, or transfer services. 🛩️Airport buses run every half hour, costing 65–100 lira, and take 1–1.75 hours. 🛩️Airport taxis are more expensive and may take a longer route, so we don't recommend them. 🛩️Airport subway wait times are 3–5 minutes, costing 9.9–20 lira, and mainly go to Sultanahmet Square and Taksim Square. 🛏Hotel information: ✨Istanbul offers a wide range of accommodations from budget to luxury hotels to suit different budgets and needs. 🌟Must-see attractions: 💫Bosphorus Strait: Connects the Black Sea and the Sea of Marmara, separating the Asian and European parts of Turkey. ✨Hagia Sophia: A representative of Byzantine architecture, tickets cost 65 lira. ✨Blue Mosque: One of the top ten wonders of the world, free admission, but with specific opening hours. 💦Basilica Cistern: An underground reservoir from the Byzantine to Ottoman periods, tickets cost 20 lira. 💫Topkapi Palace: A place for state ceremonies and royal entertainment in the past, tickets cost 60 lira. 💗Grand Bazaar: One of the largest bazaars in the world, experience the local market life. 🍽Food: 🍧Istanbul cuisine: Includes Turkish kebabs, chickpea soup, coconut custard, and more. 🥫Yogurt and sour plum soup: Turkish specialty drinks. 🛍Shopping: ❤️Zorlucenter: Many brands, one-on-one service, Bvlgari and Tiffany are only available in this mall. ❤️İstinye Park: A relatively luxurious mall with luxury brands such as LV and Gucci. 💕Independence Avenue: A must-see pedestrian street for tourists, with local brand clothing stores and Pandora. 💗Travel experience: 💫Istanbul is an ancient city full of history and culture, with every attraction full of stories and colors. 📌Tips: 💫The Blue Mosque has limited opening hours for tourists, so we recommend arriving at opening time in the morning to avoid tour groups. ✨There is a crying pillar in the Hagia Sophia, where visitors pray for health and safety. 💦Deep in the Basilica Cistern are two inverted Medusa head sculptures, adding to the mystery. 🌺In the long river of history, there is a city that spans Europe and Asia, witnessing the exchange and integration of civilizations.
