Istanbul, in Turkey, is one of the most important cities in the world, Historically, culturally and economically. It sits on the Bosphorus Strait, at the cusp of Europe and Asia, extending in both continents simultaneously. It has been a melting pot for the intangible exchange of European dynamism with Asian earthiness. Since antiquity, humans realised that migration and exchange are the antithesis of complacency and stagnation. Before the discovery of mediaeval sea routes, Ancient Byzantium was the crossover point on the legendary Silk Route to the Orient for the enterprising Europeans. Emperor Constantine named the ancient Byzantine after himself Constantinople in the 4th century and graced the city with many monuments and wonders. After its fall in 1453 to the Ottomans, it became the cradle of the Muslim Caliphate. With the end of Ottoman rule in 1923, the capital of the modern republic of Turkey shifted to Ankara, and the city adopted the local popular name of Istanbul.

The Greeks, The Romans, and the Ottomans have held sway over this city at various points in history. This city is the 15th largest city in the world and the most populous European city. It is the 8th most visited city in the world and the European Capital of Culture. When the appellations say so, genuine wanderlust quenches a visit to such a prestigious heritage. It has many UNESCO World Heritage Sites and hosts the headquarters of many national and international institutions.

After all this high-octave sightseeing, haggling, dancing, and running around, you should relax with the serene side of this bustling cosmopolis. A visit to hammams or the legendary Turkish baths is a must. Hamam Klic Ali Pasa Hamami is a signature brand in this industry. Alternatively, you can visit The Six Senses Spa for its proximity to the Bosphorus. Connecting with nature and greenery in the Belgrad city forest with an area of 1300 acres, and gazing at tulips at Gulhane Park, contiguous to the Topkapi Palace, is therapeutic for the tired souls. Istanbul holds an International Festival of Tulips annually. Strolling in beautiful arcades and neighbourhoods like Cicek Pasajii is also relaxing in nature. A transcendental experience with the dervishes at Galata Mevlevi Lodge can uplift you spiritually if visiting many mosques and churches has not awakened you already.
