Destination 1

Departure: Chicago

Built along Lake Michigan and nicknamed the "Windy City," Chicago is renowned for its dramatic architecture, expansive parklands, and thriving cultural and culinary scene. The Home Insurance Building, erected in 1885, is considered the world's first skyscraper and the forerunner of modern skyscrapers, while Willis Tower, the city's tallest structure, delivers an adrenaline-fueled view of the skyline. In Chicago’s Millennium Park, the Cloud Gate, a massive bean-shaped sculpture by Anish Kapoor, provides a meeting point for visitors and residents alike; meanwhile, the world-class Art Institute of Chicago is also a must-see destination. Chicago has numerous other public areas, including the waterfront Navy Pier’s restaurants and shops, and the high-end boutiques on Michigan Avenue’s famed “Magnificent Mile”. Last but certainly not least, Chicago is home to a stellar music scene.

Arrival: Istanbul

Turkish Airlines' direct flights from Chicago to Istanbul take approximately 10 hours and 40 minutes. An ancient city with a beauty that spans two continents, Istanbul is one of the world's most popular tourist destinations and welcomes millions of visitors each year. Offering historic architecture and a storied culinary tradition in a cosmopolitan atmosphere, Istanbul’s highlights include the monumental Hagia Sophia; Topkapi Palace, one of the Ottoman Empire’s emblematic complexes; the Suleymaniye Mosque, a masterpiece by Mimar Sinan; and the Grand Bazaar, one of the world's oldest and largest markets. We recommend visiting the Beyoğlu, Nişantaşı and Kadıköy neighborhoods to experience Istanbul's modern face and a gastronomic culture that extends from street food to Michelin-starred restaurants.
