Turkey, as we all know, is between the border of Asia and Europe. Istanbul is in the border, but most of the people in this capital city live in Asia. Turkey custom is more European than Asian yet joining this two make the perfect combination. You can do many things in Istanbul; even a week here will be full of fun without any boring time.

If, for example, you can only visit Istanbul for a day, the first thing you should do is Topkaki Palace. You should join the tour early morning because many people have the same idea. The palace has four courtyards, and the best probably is the third. It is the treasury and you can see the beautiful gems and works of art.

When you want to see a mosque, the best pick is the Blue Mosque. This is worthy of any praise since its design is one of a kind. When you enter from the west, you can feel some sort of magic embracing you.

Of course, without shopping, traveling is incomplete. For the best shopping experience, the Grand Bazaar is your destination. This huge bazaar has about 4000 shops and almost anything can be bought here, especially souvenirs.
