The only city in the world located on two continents, Istanbul is an incredible city to visit. And as Bulgaria shares a border with Turkey, it makes a great day trip destination. You'll leave in the evening and arrive early in the morning for a full day of exploring. Highlights include a bus tour passing Topkapi Palace and more, a quick visit to the UNESCO-listed Blue Mosque, plus some optional extras to customize the trip.
