Istanbul is a city rich in history and culture, and a Bosphorus cruise is a great way to see some of its most famous landmarks. As you sail along the Bosphorus Strait, which divides the European and Asian sides of the city, you’ll have the chance to see many incredible sights. The Bosphorus Bridge is one of the first landmarks you’ll encounter on your Bosphorus cruise. This impressive feat of engineering connects the two sides of Istanbul also the two continents, Europe and Asia, and offers stunning views of the city and the water below.
You’ll see the magnificent Dolmabahçe Palace as you continue your boat cruise. This beautiful building was once the primary residence of the Ottoman Sultans and is now a museum. Its grand architecture and ornate decorations make it one of Istanbul’s most iconic sights. Another landmark you’ll see on your Bosphorus cruise is the Ortaköy Mosque. This picturesque mosque sits on the banks of the Bosphorus and is a popular spot for tourists and locals alike. Its colorful tile work and elegant minarets make it a striking sight against the backdrop of the water.
