Turkey · April–June or September–November
Istanbul straddles Europe and Asia across the Bosphorus Strait, and that duality runs through everything — the minarets and Orthodox churches, the Grand Bazaar's sensory overload and the quiet tea gardens of Üsküdar, the spice-stacked souks and the rooftop bars. It is one of the great cities of the world, and it knows it.
