Last summer I had an amazing trip to Istanbul. It was a short trip, just a couple of days. But those days became some of the most memorable days of my life. What made this journey truly special was that it was the first time my partner and I travelled together. We both knew it that it was more just a vacation. It was an opportunity for us to get to know each other better. Istanbul has something for everyone. You can find all sorts of accommodation from first-class hotels to friendly budget hostels. Our hotel was located near Stegla Square. This area has lively and vibrant atmosphere and it is often packed with tourists from all around the globe. Istanbul has a clean and efficient underground system that we used it when we were in Istanbul because we had good access to the subway. We do a lot of sightseeing. We do a lot of sightseeing. We bought tickets and visited Topkapi Palace. This palace has an elegant and beautiful and magnificent architecture that it was complimentary with the city.
