Istanbul places must see

During my short trip to Istanbul, I wanted to go beyond the typical tourist spots and feel the city’s real rhythm. 🕌✨

If you have time, cross to the Asian side — take a peaceful walk around the 📍Moda area, where cozy cafés, sea breeze, and a laid-back local vibe make you instantly fall in love. ☕🌿

Don’t miss the 📍Çamlıca Mosque, one of the largest and most stunning mosques in Turkey, known for its breathtaking architecture and serene atmosphere. Right next to it, there’s the highest viewpoint in Istanbul, where the whole city unfolds beneath you , like holding Istanbul in the palm of your hand. 🌇💫

And on your way back to the hotel, make sure to cross the 🌉📍15 Temmuz Şehitler Bridge at sunset. When the city lights start to glow, it looks absolutely magical.
