Istanbul Day Trip Itinerary - SPRING EDITIONN 🌸🌷

🌸 Istanbul Day Trip – Spring Edition 🌸 Springtime in Istanbul hits different! Warm breeze, blooming tulips, and golden-hour views that feel straight out of a dream ✨ 🕌 1. Hagia Sophia Started the day with awe at Hagia Sophia. The moment you step inside, you’re hit with layers of history — from church to mosque to museum, and now mosque again. The mix of Byzantine and Ottoman architecture is unreal. 🌿 2. Gülhane Park Next stop: Gülhane Park, the hidden calm right in the heart of the city. Perfect for spring! Tulips in full bloom, locals enjoying tea under the trees, and that fresh scent of the season? Pure magic. Ideal spot to take a slow walk and just… breathe. 🌉 3. Ortaköy Wrapped up the day in Ortaköy — my favorite! Grabbed a kumpir (loaded baked potato) and sat by the Bosphorus, watching the sunset behind the iconic mosque and bridge. The vibes? Immaculate. 💡 Tip: Spring’s the best time to explore Istanbul on foot. Bring comfy shoes and a light jacket — the wind near the water can still be a bit chilly. #travel #thingstodo #myitinerary #citydaytours
