I recently visited Istanbul in Türkiye (or Turkey as it was previously and is still popularly called) for 4 days. These are some notes from my trip, hoping that it will help someone (mostly my friends!) who may be planning a visit to this wonderful, historical city.
Istanbul is a big city and there’s tons to see, and 3–4 days are not enough to see everything, and to experience everything, but if you are like me (short of vacation days!), 3 days is sufficient to see the usual must-sees that most people do.
