We're doing a RS Bulgaria tour in June 2022 and thinking about starting our trip with a week in Istanbul. Has anyone combined these two destinations? What are the must-see spots in Istanbul that pair well with a trip to Bulgaria? Also, any tips on travel logistics between the two would be super helpful.

Combining Istanbul with Bulgaria sounds like a fantastic adventure! For must-see spots in Istanbul, definitely check out the Hagia Sophia and the Grand Bazaar. These iconic sites offer a blend of history and culture that can complement your Bulgarian experience. As for travel logistics, consider taking a bus or a short flight to get between the two locations. It's usually convenient and offers some scenic views along the way. Have you thought about the specific cities in Bulgaria you'll be visiting? That might help narrow down your Istanbul itinerary too.

That sounds like an amazing trip! If you're visiting Bulgaria, I highly recommend checking out Plovdiv and Veliko Tarnovo for their rich history and stunning architecture. In Istanbul, alongside the Hagia Sophia and Grand Bazaar, consider a stroll through the historic Sultanahmet district. Have you also thought about exploring the Bosphorus? A ferry ride offers gorgeous views and is a relaxing way to see the city from the water. What experiences are you most excited about in both destinations?
