Eurasia Tour: Discover Istanbul's Europe & Asia in One Day
Few cities let you stand in Europe in the morning and Asia in the afternoon, and this full-day tour is built around exactly that. You'll trace Istanbul's split personality across the Bosphorus, from European waterfront squares to the quieter historical corners of the Asian shore.
The day starts in Ortakoy, where a small ornate mosque sits right at the water's edge beneath the Bosphorus Bridge. From there you cross the strait itself, then explore the Asian side before climbing Camlica Hill, the highest point in the city, for a panorama that takes in both continents at once.
A professional guide travels with you throughout, sharing the history and everyday stories that connect the two halves of Istanbul. Air-conditioned transport and a closing shopping stop round out an easy, full day of sightseeing.
