Istanbul famously connects Europe to Asia, and its multicultural landmarks — like the Blue Mosque — will stun your IG feed.

You'll think it can't be topped, and then you'll have lunch.

The possibilities are spelled out below, and, yes, there will be plenty of hot air balloons and fairy chimneys, too.
