How to Spend 24 Hours in Istanbul

Poonam Chopra — Tue, 15 Feb 2011 17:00:16 +0000

Considering its massive size, a timeframe of 24 hours can hardly do any of the city’s gems any justice at all, but it is sufficient to scratch the surface and instill a curiosity for more. It is an enchanting city, fusing the history of several cultures, languages, religions, and eras together and establishing itself as Turkey’s economic and cultural epicenter.
