Istanbul tourism costs are moderate in Europe, and the time to visit is frugal: about three days recommended reason: ❤ Istanbul in my eyes, the mysteriousness of the East and the dynamic of the West, the perfect combination of the two, have achieved the world's unique city - Istanbul. Whether she is called Byzantine, Constantinople, or Istanbul, this extraordinary city deserves extraordinary glory. Although she is somewhat contradictory, old but modern, this cross-time and space blend makes people feel a little incredible, and makes people feel so harmonious and beautiful. In the land of Istanbul, there will always be a moment to make people feel awkward: there are clear pine waves, there are ancient Roman legions and Ottoman jingo iron horses, swallowing thousands of miles like tigers; the mottled ancient city walls continue to stretch, and it seems to reflect the majesty of the iron blooded soldiers to protect the family and the country; Modern high-rise buildings live next to the mosques of the round top towers; magnificent marble palaces are accompanied by simple stone fortresses; stout suits and loose black robes are modern or ancient? Is this the West or the East? The city has experienced thousands of years of vicissitudes and historical changes, and has become a region embedded by a variety of civilizations. In this intersection, the city's temperament is elegant and beautiful, and it is natural. ❤ Must-Check in Attractions ❤ 1⃣ Hagia Sophia Cathedral 1⃣ In Istanbul's countless monuments, Hagia Sophia Cathedral surpasses all the remaining sites with its creative architectural form, rich historical connotation, religious value and extraordinary beauty. The mosaic mosaics in the cathedral, the huge nave, and the magnificent dome have been baptized for a while and are still breathtaking. Especially mosaic mosaics, although some are incomplete, still experience their amazing charm to date. 2⃣ Constantinople Racecourse 2⃣ Constantinople Racecourse seems to be the perfect epitome of this city. Since the Byzantine period, this is a place where people gather to watch chariot races and participate in hot competitions. For thousands of years, it was the center of Byzantine life, and it was still the same as it was in the Ottoman era. Successive kings spared no effort to beautify it, decorating the central area with sculptures from all over the world. Unfortunately, these priceless statues are gone, and the culprit is the Crusade soldiers. Among the priceless treasures are the bronze four-horse two-wheeled chariots. Today, its replica is placed at the top of the main entrance of St. Mark's Cathedral in Venice.
