While you’re reading this, Mr A and myself will have arrived at Istanbul, hopefully have been able to get to our room at the hotel and may already be out and about exploring the city.
Sharing a Lonely Planet
Also, I quickly decided to travel carry-on only. If anything interesting comes out of this, I’ll be happy to share.
We realise that four days can only give us a little glimpse of the many wonders Istanbul has to offer. However, we are going to make the best of our time and have even made a rough plan of places we don’t want to miss.
This is how it goes:
- Sunday afternoon – Topkapi palace
- Monday – stroll around Galata in the morning, taking a boat to the Asian side, visiting Kadiköy in the afternoon
- Tuesday – visiting Hagia Sofia and the Blue Mosque
- Wednesday – Sülemaniye mosque followed by the Grand Bazaar
Wednesday evening we’re already returning to Vienna, possibly with a whole lot of photos on our respective SD cards and definitely with wonderful memories in our minds.
Does our schedule sound overly ambitious? Are we missing out on something we really should include? Let me know in the comments below or – better even – via Facebook or Instagram!

It sounds like a great schedule, Alice! Istanbul is still on my to-travel list, so I’m looking forward to hear about your experiences! Have a safe trip and have fun of course! 😀
