A cruise on the Bosphorus is one of the most memorable things you can do in Istanbul. The strait separates Europe and Asia, and from the water you can see palaces, mosques, old wooden mansions and the famous bridges that link both sides of the city.
If you are visiting for a short time, a 90 minute or 2 hour sightseeing trip is often enough. For couples, sunset or dinner cruises can be more special. Families may prefer larger boats with indoor and outdoor seating. Private yachts are best if you want more privacy and space for photos.
After a cruise many people like to explore the Old City or nearby districts on foot. If you want a guide to lead you through the main streets and markets, take a look at the Istanbul walking tours after you book your boat tour.
