Queen of Cities

A physical and cultural bridge between Europe and Asia, the transcontinental city of Istanbul serves as a living reminder of the Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman empires.
On the 1st (Fri), get engrossed in the history at Topkapi Palace, contemplate the long history of Basilica Cistern, then take an in-depth tour of Hagia Sophia Museum / Church (Ayasofya), and finally take in the spiritual surroundings of Sultan Ahmed Mosque.

To find photos, ratings, maps, and other tourist information, use the Istanbul vacation maker tool .

If you are flying in from Egypt, the closest major airports are Atatürk International Airport and Sabiha Gökçen International Airport. In February, plan for daily highs up to 11°C, and evening lows to 11°C. Finish your sightseeing early on the 1st (Fri) to allow enough time to travel back home.
