Most people who take a flight to Istanbul with us are astonished by the city even before they land. As your flight to Istanbul comes in to land, you will get a clear view of how this great city straddles the Bosphorus – it is often described as having one foot in Europe and the other in Asia.
Even as you complete your flight to Istanbul, you’ll have a strong feeling that this is going to be a memorable experience – and you’ll be right. We generally advise passengers on our flights to Istanbul to start by exploring the Sultanahmet District, which is chock full of amazing sights and takes a whole day to explore. The two most important monuments here are the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia and in the Topkapi quarter, the famous palace of the Sultans is also well worth a visit.
Istanbul provided a trade link between Europe and Asia for centuries, so it’s quite fitting that even today, many business passengers on our flights to Istanbul are involved in import/export. Istanbul still has a strong entrepreneurial spirit. You can spend hours exploring the Great Bazaar, which is literally a maze of thousands of shops. And be prepared to haggle – it’s a more exciting way of shopping! Afterwards, take in the splendour of the nearby Suleyman Mosque, considered by many to be the Istanbul’s finest.
There’s no doubt that Istanbul is an unforgettable city and you can get underway right now by booking your flight to Istanbul with us here, as well as hotels and car hire if you wish.
