In this video, we show you how to spend the perfect day in Istanbul if you only have 24 hours to explore the city. Istanbul is one of our favorite cities in the entire world - we have spent months and months exploring this city and have put together what we feel is the best way to see the city in just 1 day.

While we believe Istanbul deserves SO much more time than just 24 hours, we understand that, for some, it is all the time you will have. With the right plan, there is a lot you can see and do in Istanbul in just 1 day - it's going to be a busy, jam-packed day so let's jump right in!

The restaurant we ate at for lunch was Lezzet-i Şark Antep Sofrası. Be sure to get our guide for over 100 other great restaurant recommendations all over the city!

Very helpful video with a lot of charisma. One thing to suggest is to write down the names of squares and mosques and attractions you mention, so it's easier for us to find. Thanks and keep it up.

I watched a few videos of yours and absolutely love the way you illustrate Istanbul traveling. I especially like Myles’ enthusiasm and sparkle in her eyes when she explain things. Keep it up guys! Show us the world through your lens.

You guys are awesome: I love the attention to detail, good video shots, clever observations. Istanbul is one of my favorite places in the world (along with London, Delhi, Reykjavik), and I was here last year for a few days as part of 2 week tour of Egypt and Turkey. And I will be transiting through Istanbul this year for 19 hours so your tips are appreciated. I am a subscriber now as your channel deserves all the support for being really HQ. Your heart and soul goes in this week and it shows. Good vibes from Seattle, WA.
