23 images that prove #Istanbul is the most Instagrammable city on the planet

INSTAGRAM HAS FINALLY MADE IT POSSIBLE to answer the age-old question: “What’s the most beautiful city in the world?” The answer, unequivocally, is Istanbul.

As the point where Europe meets Asia, Istanbul already had a head start; but it clinches the title when you combine its stunning scenery with some of the most beautiful architecture on the planet. It doesn’t matter if you’re looking at a World Heritage Site or a side street — Istanbul wins. Here’s the proof.

#JumpToPlay This has been waiting in my camera roll way too long! It's the super awesome @barkinozdemir, who guided us to his favorite lookout spot in Istanbul a couple of weeks ago. On the way up I decided to buy a lace umbrella – just in case – and I guess we put it to good use up there. #istanbulcity

The #FashionHunt team knows how captivating the spectacular views İstanbul has to offer while crossing continents by ferry. The small stalls selling treats and street food are a fantastic way to take a break while discovering this vast city.
