The Champions Festival

The Champions Festival, dedicated to the UEFA Champions League final, will be organised at Istanbul's Yenikapı Festival Venue between the 8th and 11th of June 2023. On June 9th,  the 2023 UEFA Ultimate Champions Tournament will be played at 4:00 pm with the participation of the UEFA Ambassadors. Turkey's official tourism promotion platform GoTurkey will host 2 DJ sets with Chris Luno B2B Ceaus, Guillaume de Kadebostany and Lost Frequencies on the same day.

Historic Buildings that are a Rich Past's Heritage

Istanbul attracts thousands of tourists worldwide with its historical places and architecture reflecting its multicultural identity and rich history. Due to its strategic location, the city, which has been home to numerous civilisations throughout history, also holds many historical buildings showing traces of different eras and cultures. The "Historical Peninsula" houses many of the city's iconic buildings. Surrounded on one side by the ancient city walls and on the other by the Bosphorus, the Sea of Marmara, and the Golden Horn, the peninsula attracts tourists and travellers with the Hippodrome, Hagia Sophia, Basilica Cistern, Blue Mosque, Istanbul Archeology Museum and Topkapı Palace.

Istanbul's towers are also must-see attractions. The Galata Tower, the famous structure on Istanbul's skyline, offers incredible panoramic views of the city from its observation floor. On the other hand, the Maiden's Tower, the iconic structure of the Istanbul Bosphorus, enables its visitors to watch the beautiful Istanbul from an entirely different point of view.

A Unique Blend of Art and Culture

Istanbul, known for its rich historical heritage, is a real treasure for art lovers, with its museums that combine the cultural dynamism of the age with traditions, modern art galleries, cultural centres, streets hosting artists and designers, concert venues, and an ever-increasing number of cultural and artistic events.
