Have thought about only focusing on what's essential? Does it seem to you as a good strategy to save time and achieve the skills that you need the most?

With both a European and Asian side, Istanbul really is where East and West meet. Here are some of the city's top tourist attractions.

Sultanahmet
Many of Istanbul's most famous buildings are in Sultanahmet on the European side. Tourists can enjoy the beautiful Blue Mosque, built by Sultan Ahmet I in the 17th century. Or they can take a trip to the city's past in the Hagia Sophia — which has been both a Christian church and a mosque before being made into a museum.

Spice Bazaar
While the Grand Bazaar is the most famous Istanbul market, the Spice Bazaar offers a more fun and colorful shopping experience. Almost any spice can be found in the Spice Bazaar, as well as Turkish candies — and the shops will let you try a little bit of everything!



Kadiköy
The Kadiköy neighborhood on Istanbul's Asian side is popular with young people for its pubs, cafes and music venues. Chat with artists and writers in the tea garden of the Nâzım Hikmet Cultural Center, which celebrates the life of one of Turkey's most famous poets. After that, shop for antiques on Tellalzade Street.



The Bosphorus
The Bosphorus is between Istanbul's two sides. There are many Bosphorus boat tours to choose from, including ones with meals and entertainment. For the best price, take one of the city's public boats — tickets cost less than $1, and they offer the same sights.



Food
Istanbul is famous for its food. Enjoy some meze — many small plates of food — with fish and the local spirit, raki. Or buy a simit — a round bread covered in seeds — from the street sellers. Don't forget to try a cup of Turkish coffee or a glass of black tea with lots of sugar.

East Meets West: Istanbul's Top Attractions

¡Hola a todos! Bienvenidos a mi podcast Spanish with a colombian coffee y en este episodio hablaré sobre el delicioso café colombiano. Hoy vamos a explorar la rica historia y la importancia cultural de este famoso producto. Para aquellos que están aprendiendo español, no se preocupen, voy a hablar despacio y usaré palabras simples, además al final de cada sección explicaré algunas definiciones en inglés. ¡Comencemos!
Primero, hablemos sobre qué es el café colombiano. Colombia es famosa por producir uno de los mejores cafés del mundo. El café colombiano se cultiva en las montañas del país, donde el clima es perfecto para su crecimiento. Este café es conocido por su sabor suave y aroma increíble.
El café no es solo una bebida en Colombia, ¡es una parte importante de la cultura! Las familias colombianas a menudo se reúnen para tomar café y hablar. También es una fuente importante de empleo en Colombia, dando trabajo a muchas personas.
Ahora, hablemos sobre cómo se cultiva y produce el café. Los caficultores colombianos son expertos en este arte. Recolectan los granos de café cuando están maduros y luego los tuestan para realzar su sabor. Esto hace que el café colombiano sea tan especial.
Para disfrutar del café colombiano, solo necesitas agua caliente y un filtro. Coloca el café en el filtro, vierte agua caliente y ¡listo! Muchas personas le agregan azúcar o crema, yo prefiero tomarlo sin eso para poder percibir bien su sabor.
Y eso es todo sobre el café colombiano. ¡Espero que hayas disfrutado aprendiendo sobre esta deliciosa bebida de Colombia! Si alguna vez tienes la oportunidad, asegúrate de probar una taza de café colombiano fresco. ¡Hasta la próxima!
