Bosphorus Bridge From Europe to Asia From Istanbul

The Bosporus Bridge

Built in 1974, the bridge connects the European and the Asian sections of Istanbul. While traveling over 60 meters above the sea level, an immaculate sight of the city’s both modern and ancient sites can be seen.

Çamlica Hill

The highest point in Istanbul, with a panoramic command over the city. Provided that Istanbul chooses to show its beauties and blesses the visitors with a clear day, one can see (and picture) forever.

Beylerbeyi Palace

One of the largest, lavishly furnished 19th century summer residences of the Ottoman sultans. The rooms are kept with their original furniture; and visitors feel like being house guests to the Imperial family.

Baghdad Street

Once the grouping point for the merchants who were set to travel the ancient Silk Road, this popular street on the Asian side of Istanbul has elegant boutiques and shopping alternatives. This will be a perfect chance to see the urban lifestyle of modern Istanbul.

Please note that the Beylerbeyi Palace is closed on Mondays and Thursdays; and that it is replaced by 18th century Hidiv Pavilion.
