One day, you will come to the capital of the world, Istanbul

Napoleon once said: If the world had only one capital, it would be Istanbul. With Asia on the left and Europe on the right, this giant city that spans the Eurasian continent has another resounding name: Constantinople. Here, the grandeur of the Roman Empire, the faith of Byzantium, and the glory of the Ottoman Empire are all combined, making it worthy of being called the capital of the world. In the Greek period, it was called Byzantium; in the New Roman period, it was called Constantinople; in the Ottoman Empire period, it was called Istanbul. One city with three names, Byzantium-Constantinople-Istanbul, witnessed the thousand-year history of the Mediterranean coast. If you want to overlook Istanbul from 360 degrees, you must climb the Galata Tower and feel the grandeur of Constantinople. The tower is eight floors high, and you can take the elevator to the 6th floor and then climb up. There are some relics and exhibitions in the tower, and the 8th floor offers a 360-degree view of Istanbul. It is recommended to come before sunset to see the sunset. One day, you will come here, blowing the sea breeze of the Mediterranean and the Black Sea on the Bosphorus Strait across the Eurasian continent, and feel the changes of history. Ticket 🎫: EUR 30, only cash (lira) or card is accepted on site, no euros are accepted
