3 Must-Visit Places in Istanbul 🧡 So Beautiful It Hurts!

"I want to take you to romantic Turkey..." If you only have time for three places in Istanbul, here are my absolute top picks—each one is a must-see for any Turkey trip! ✅ NO.1: Bosphorus Strait 📍 Location: Tram T1 to Eminonu—ferry docks are along the coast. 🚢 Cruise: TURYOL (130 TRY round-trip) ⏰ Duration: 90-minute round-trip 🧡 Sunset Tip: Take the 18:00 cruise for golden-hour views! 🌟 Why Go? Glide between Europe & Asia while spotting Istanbul’s iconic skyline: Blue Mosque Hagia Sophia Topkapi Palace Galata Tower Bosphorus Bridge ✅ NO.2: SARAYBURNU 🚌 Bus: BN1 🎟️ Ticket: FREE! 🌟 Why Go? The ultimate seaside chill spot 💙 Ocean breeze + golden sunlight = instant stress relief. Near Topkapi Palace—perfect for a post-sightseeing relax session. Unreal romantic vibes—just sit, stare, and soak it all in. 🚇 Tram: T1 to Gülhane Station 🎟️ Ticket: FREE! 🌟 Why Go? Picnic-perfect lawns (we napped for an hour—bliss). Feels like a European oil painting with its lush scenery. Ideal for aimless city walks that turn into unexpected magic. #HiddenGems #TravelTurkey #Istanbul #IstanbulTravel #Bosphorus #Wanderlust
