Condé Nast Traveler's Alternative Bucket List

"Traffic is notoriously bad in Istanbul, so find an afternoon to skip it altogether and walk over the Galata Bridge, which spans the Golden Horn. You’ll find rows of fishing rods stacked up along the railings, old men grilling their catch on makeshift barbecues, and commuters making their way home. If you time it right, you’ll hear the call to prayer drifting over the Bosphorus as you do it. A perfect slice of Istanbul life."
