Visited Istanbul earlier this year and totally get why it’s on that list—every corner felt like stepping into a different time. The food, the street cats, the call to prayer echoing at sunset… just unreal. Ended up reading this piece on https://buzzclick-music.com/ that tied the city’s history to its tourism boom. Gave the whole trip more depth.
