A Guide to Istanbul’s Charms

March 1, 2025

Istanbul offers a unique blend of history, culture, and breathtaking beauty. Immerse yourself in the city’s rich heritage, indulge in delicious Turkish cuisine, and explore its vibrant neighborhoods. This guide will take you through the city’s top attractions, hidden gems, and unforgettable experiences.

Living traditions and eco-innovation meet in Turkey’s most cosmopolitan center.

Istanbul’s waterways and narrow streets thread Europe to Asia in a tapestry of Ottoman palaces, slender minarets, and soaring plane trees. Yes, life in Turkey’s most storied city is breezily bicontinental, and locals have an enviable knack for layering fresh culture atop ancient heritage.

Sustainable journeys to Istanbul draw on that confluence. Here, travelers can merge ecological innovation with tradition, whether by sampling Anatolian wines at a Michelin Green Star restaurant, strolling between antique stores in stylish Cukurcuma, or buying artisan crafts from Balat district workshops.

And while Istanbul’s recent entrée into the EBRD Green Cities program signals a growing commitment to environmental design, its savvy travel advisors and guides have long championed eco-conscious exploration. The meandering streets in the city’s oldest neighborhoods, for example, are best visited on foot, and a network of public ferries, far from perpetual traffic snarls, links Bosporus-side districts. Below, more ways to plan an Istanbul trip while making conservation and local craftsmanship a priority.

High-end craftsmanship at Neolokal.

Eat and Drink

The Michelin Guide made its long-awaited Istanbul debut in 2022, awarding Turkey’s first Green Star to chef Maksut Askar’s Neolokal, a restaurant serving contemporary takes on the country’s rich gastronomic heritage. “To create a better future, we need to make our traditions sustainable,” says Askar, who sources ingredients for dishes such as morel-stuffed manti dumplings from small producers and strives to make his kitchen zero waste. Neolokal’s wine list highlights Turkish wine regions from Anatolia to the Aegean coast, showcasing rare and endangered grapes such as hasandede and cakal. At sister restaurant Foxy, a beloved wine bar in the Nisantasi neighborhood to the north of the old city, aficionados order from a bottle list sourced entirely from within Turkey.

Shop

Istanbul’s antique shops are a trove for sustainably minded travelers, who upcycle or preserve their finds. “Turkish culture has always prioritized beautiful design, exquisite craftsmanship, and high quality,” says Artisans of Leisure CEO Ashley Isaacs Ganz. “Shops and bazaars feature items that were meant to be passed down for generations.” Ganz recommends the chic A la Turca showroom, which curates precious carpets and kilims within the Cukurcuma antique district. Nearby, strolling through the cosmopolitan Beyoglu neighborhood leads to Sofa Art & Antiques, a thrilling jumble of gold jewelry, oil paintings, and brass sculptures.

While Turkish towels are plentiful in the labyrinthine fifteenth-century Grand Bazaar, travelers seeking artisanal versions should visit Jennifer’s Hamam in the smaller Arasta Bazaar near the Hagia Sophia. When owner and longtime Istanbul resident Jennifer Gaudet founded the shop in 2009, she discovered just a few weavers still hand-looming towels with techniques developed during the Ottoman Empire (factory-made textiles had pushed the craft nearly to extinction). Today, the shop and its three-story showroom support a network of in-house weavers creating sumptuous and colorful flat-woven towels, looped towels, and other textiles, all from organic Turkish cotton.

Other artisans sell right from their studios. “In Balat, there are small pottery shops and small leather shops. You can sit and see how they’re doing it – they like to chat,” says Yavuz Salataci, an Istanbul local and operations specialist for G Adventures. He recommends that guests on the four-day Classic Istanbul Mini Adventure use their free time for a craft-themed stroll through the vibrant Balat neighborhood overlooking the Golden Horn. For fine tiles and ceramics, Salataci prefers Firca Seramik in the neighboring Fatih area, where buyers source traditional pieces directly from the lakeside town of Iznik. Or head to Beyazit’s coppersmith market for another craft at risk of factory-made replacement: hand-hammered copper kitchenware from eastern Tukey’s renowned Gaziantep workshops.

Experience

Not all heirlooms fit in a carry-on: Souvenir minimalists and culture-curious visitors have ample opportunities to support traditional ways of life in Istanbul. The 65-room Four Seasons Hotel Istanbul at Sultanahmet books tickets for travelers to watch Sufi practitioners’ (aka whirling dervishes) dancing meditations at Hodjapasha, a cultural center housed in a fifteenth-century hammam.

And as international travelers catch on to the breadth of Turkey’s patrimony, hotels across the city are introducing creative hands-on experiences. Guests at the 100-room Mandarin Oriental Bosphorus, Istanbul can take glassblowing workshops to create personalized versions of the good-luck charms known as “evil eyes,” a tradition rooted in ancient Mesopotamia. And in the bustling Galata neighborhood, the 177-room Peninsula Istanbul ushers visitors to the sixteenth-century Caferağa Madrasa to learn the art of ebru – a style of marbling perfected by calligraphers during the Ottoman period – now featured on UNESCO’s list of intangible cultural heritage.

Exploring Kanazawa’s Charming Neighborhoods

January 1, 2025

Kanazawa, a hidden gem on Japan’s west coast, is a city steeped in history and tradition. Its well-preserved neighborhoods offer a glimpse into the country’s rich cultural heritage. As you read our tips below, you’ll encounter stunning traditional architecture, exquisite gardens, and delectable local cuisine.

Where to eat, shop, explore, and relax in the capital of the country’s Ishikawa Prefecture.

Traveling to Kanazawa, the capital of Ishikawa Prefecture on central Honshu (Japan’s main island), feels like discovering a slice of untouched Japan. Steeped in history, the city is a thriving hub for traditional arts and crafts and the cultural jewel of the Hokuriku region – an area that encompasses the Ishikawa, Toyama, Niigata, and Fukui prefectures, bordered by the Sea of Japan to the west and the Japanese Alps to the east. Here, travelers explore beautifully preserved samurai and geisha districts, striking temples, and refined museums. Kanazawa is reminiscent of Kyoto, yet there are far less visitors reaping its bounties.

It’s easy to add a stay in Kanazawa onto a trip to Japan – the city is just over two hours by bullet train from Tokyo and about two hours from Kyoto. Plan on spending at least three days in Kanazawa to wander its food markets and museums, explore the abundant nature of nearby Hakusan National Park, and take in its centuries-old architecture, such as the Kanazawa Castle. Here are the experiences to add to your list.  

Jibuni, a Kanazawa staple, is made by coating duck meat in flour and simmering it with vegetables in stock.

Japan National Tourism Organization

Dine on Fresh Yellowtail and Traditional Kaiseki

Kanazawa rose to prominence under the rule of the powerful Maeda clan, which governed the Kaga domain – known now as Ishikawa – during the Edo period from 1603 to 1868. The city’s large samurai community drew skilled craftsmen and merchants, who flourished due to the Maeda clan’s substantial patronage of the arts. Along with its artistic legacy, the city’s culinary heritage is also revered, showcasing fresh seafood sourced from the Sea of Japan as well as traditional regional dishes such as jibuni, or duck hot pot.

Some of Kanazawa’s best restaurants, such as Kataori and Zeniya, specialize in kaiseki, a classic Japanese multicourse dinner. Steps away from the Saigawa River, Zeniya’s owner and executive chef, Shinichiro Takagi, sources ingredients from local markets, and his signature dish, abalone steak, takes ten hours to cook. About a 20-minute drive southwest, chef Takayoshi Yamaguchi perfects the art of sushi at the Michelin-starred Sushidokoro Mekumi. A reservation is a must at this eight-seat restaurant, where Yamaguchi handcrafts every sushi dish.

Omicho Market, a 300-year-old covered market that’s a 15-minute walk from the Kanazawa train station, offers a lively introduction to Kanazawa cuisine, with stalls hawking a cornucopia of the area’s prized Kaga vegetables, street-food favorites, confections such as mochi ice cream, and freshly caught seafood. In summer, search for locally grown lotus root, pumpkins, Japanese whiting fish, and rock oysters. Winter is the prime season to sample delicacies such as fatty yellowtail and snow crab.

 

Intricately decorated shikki lacquerware.

Japan National Tourism Organization

Create Your Own Kanazawa Ceramics

During the Edo era, local Kanazawa artisans began painting patterns on tableware and objects with lacquer, then sprinkling them with gold or silver dust. The process, known as shikki, symbolized the town’s wealth and influence. Travelers can bring home shimmering examples of shikki from Nosaku, a lacquerware shop and manufacturer in the city’s downtown Korinbo district. Established in 1780, Nosaku also offers a 90-minute workshop where travelers can adorn their own bowls or dishes.

Known for its vibrant colors, bold patterns, and high-quality craftsmanship, kutani-yaki pottery originated in the Ishikawa village of Kutani in the 1650s and was revived in Kanazawa by the Maeda clan in the early nineteenth century. Kosen Kiln, which dates to 1870, is one of the city’s only remaining kutani-yaki ceramics makers, specializing in intricate, hand-painted porcelain. The kiln also offers pottery workshops for travelers.

Immerse Yourself in Japanese Art

Art is everywhere in Kanazawa: in the food, the tableware, and especially the architecture. Wander through the narrow, cobblestoned alleys of the Nagamachi district to the Nomura-ke samurai residence, where the meticulously maintained Japanese gardens and Edo-era architecture transport travelers to the city’s feudal past. About a ten-minute drive east in the lively Higashi Chaya neighborhood, one of Kanazawa’s three historic geisha districts, the Machiyajuku Wa-no-Jiku experience offers lessons in the artistry and etiquette of the Japanese tea ceremony inside a 100-year-old renovated wooden townhouse.

For a deep dive into traditional Japanese entertainment, attending a geigi, or geisha, performance is a must, says Virtuoso travel advisor Luke Breaux: “The mesmerizing dances and music reflect Kanazawa’s commitment to preserving its cultural legacy.” Your Virtuoso travel advisor can help arrange access to one of the city’s most popular geigi dinners and performances.

The D.T. Suzuki Museum in the Hondamachi neighborhood is dedicated to the modern Zen Buddhist philosopher Daisetz Teitaro Suzuki. The space – which encompasses three rooms designed for exhibition, spiritual education, and contemplation – will reopen after a renovation in spring 2024. And in the city center, the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa features interactive installations, permanent collections, and special exhibitions, with a famed swimming pool installation by Leandro Erlich as its centerpiece.

Discover the timeless beauty of Kanazawa. From visiting ancient places to tasting traditional cuisine, you’ll create memories that last a lifetime. Enjoy exclusive discounts and cashback offers on your hotel bookings with Bellhopping. Check our IG for more.

Five Ways to Travel through Italy

December 1, 2024

Italy is a country known for its rich history, stunning landscapes, and delicious cuisine. Italy offers countless opportunities to create unforgettable memories from exploring ancient ruins and vibrant cities to indulging in world-class food and wine. Check our insights below to help you plan the perfect trip tailored to your interests and preferences. Stay at our curated luxury hotels and enjoy all the perks, plus the added bonus of cash back in your pocket when you return home.

Choose your favorite itinerary and let the experts take care of the rest.

Roman ruins, verdant countryside, endless pasta, and cliff-hugging coastlines – it’s no wonder Italy is known as Il Bel Paese. (The country consistently heads Virtuoso’s list of top destinations.) Whether travelers are first-time visitors or la dolce vita experts, it’s nice to let someone else handle every on-the-ground logistic. To help travelers experience it all, tour company Classic Vacations works with Virtuoso travel advisors to craft curated private itineraries across the country. Trips include luxe accommodations in iconic hotels, private transfers, and exclusive tours. Here, highlights from five sample itineraries to inspire a little Italian wanderlust.

The Classic Jaunt – Venice, Florence, and Rome

While travelers could spend unlimited time in three of the world’s greatest cities – Venice, Florence, and Rome – ten days is a good start for appreciating the history, charm, and gelaterias of this Italian trifecta. In Venice, check into a lagoon-facing suite at the 52-room Londra Palace Venezia before heading out on a private walking tour that reveals La Serenissima’s rich history, followed by a gondola ride through the city’s mesmerizing canals.  

In Florence, revel in views of Renaissance architecture from the 63-room Hotel Lungarno and take a stroll in the city’s famous square, Piazza della Signoria, before visiting the Uffizi Gallery to admire the great works of Michelangelo, da Vinci, and Giotto. Travelers can learn the art of cooking authentic Tuscan cuisine – and taste the results – or savor world-class wines on an excursion to the rolling hills of Chianti.  

In Rome, the trip’s final stop, travelers immerse themselves in millennia of history via escorted tours to some of the city’s most spellbinding ancient monuments, including the Forum and the Colosseum. On a guided tour of Vatican City, marvel at the Renaissance-era Sistine Chapel and Saint Peter’s Basilica. End the journey with a toast to the Eternal City from atop the Spanish Steps at the 87-room Hotel Hassler. 

The Grand Tour – Milan to Sicily

This epic, two-week journey stretching from northern to southern Italy begins in Milan, where travelers banish jet lag in the 104-room Mandarin Oriental, Milan’s spa before spying da Vinci’s Last Supper at the Santa Maria delle Grazie and indulging in some retail therapy in the city’s elite fashion district. On a day trip, travelers explore Lake Como by boat before an exclusive dinner at the lavish 84-room Grand Hotel Tremezzo.

From Milan, spend a few days soaking in the Tuscan countryside in the medieval hill town of Siena or go coastal on the Cinque Terre for seaside afternoons and alfresco dinners. Then it’s onward to the Amalfi Coast, where dips in the sea near Capri pair with an afternoon walking Pompeii’s ancient streets and idling in the good life at the 66-room Hotel Santa Caterina. The journey ends in Sicily, known for its beaches, medieval ruins, and flaky cannoli. While you’re on the island, trek one of the many panoramic trails along Mount Etna, Europe’s most active volcano, before sampling local wines at a nearby vineyard.

The Unexpected Getaway – Verona, Bologna, and More

Travelers can stray from the well-trodden path on a 12-day tour that starts in Verona and takes in some of Italy’s most fascinating under-the-radar sights. In Verona, check into historic, 89-room Due Torri Hotel, then set out to explore the city’s elegant centuries-old piazzas, shopping arcades, and Roman arena, before setting off to Vicenza, birthplace of renowned architect Palladio.  

A stay at Bologna’s 106-room Grand Hotel Majestic già Baglioni, housed in an eighteenth-century palazzo originally built for Pope Benedict XIV, is the gateway to the city’s Michelin-starred restaurants and automobile museums. After sneaking away to Porto Venere, a charming seaside town on Liguria’s romantic Gulf of Poets, travelers explore the picturesque Cinque Terre coastline by boat or train before returning to the 48-room Grand Hotel Portovenere. The trip concludes in the Tuscan countryside at the 53-room Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco, an ideal home base for bike rides through ancient hill towns, a few rounds of golf, and sampling some of the region’s award-winning brunello wines. 

The Unforgettable Family Trip – Venice, Florence, Pisa, and Rome

The memories from a ten-day family vacation in Italy will last a lifetime – and this itinerary puts a kid-friendly spin on one of the country’s classic jaunts. After settling into a two-bedroom suite at Venice’s 92-room Baglioni Hotel Luna, take the family for a gondola ride or to a mask-making workshop, or just enjoy the freedom and fun of getting lost in the Floating City’s maze of streets and canals. From there, it’s off to Florence, where the kids’ program at Rocco Forte Hotels’ 80-room Hotel Savoy pampers everyone from tots to teens. See who can climb to the soaring dome of Florence’s cathedral the fastest, learn about Galileo’s remarkable cosmic discoveries, and, of course, sample gelato in the city where it was invented.

An excursion to Pisa gives families the chance to take turns “holding up” its iconic leaning tower, before a grand Roman finale. The 120-room Hotel de Russie hosts families in the heart of the Eternal City, where they can choose among a pizza and gelato crawl, bike rides in Villa Borghese park, or private kid-friendly tours of Rome’s ancient highlights.  

The Romantic Escape – Milan, the Cinque Terre, and Rome  

Italy is every bit as alluring as you might expect, and Milan is the starting point for this sweet eight-day getaway. The 106-room Park Hyatt Milano places travelers in the heart of the action, with the Duomo and belle epoque Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II shopping arcade just steps away. Tour the city in a luxury sedan, then sip negronis along the canals of the buzzy Navigli district.

Travelers move to the Italian Riviera and Santa Margherita Ligure’s 72-room Grand Hotel Miramare, where a sea-facing balcony suite is an ideal hideaway after a private yacht excursion to the five postcard-perfect villages of the Cinque Terre. In Tuscany, an overnight at the 14-room Castello Banfi Wine Resort allows time for spa treatments, Michelin-starred dining, horseback riding, and winetasting on the hotel’s working wine estate.  

Finally, love springs eternal in Rome, where legendary landmarks such as the Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps are the backdrop for romance. The 114-room Bulgari Hotel Roma offers a private spa suite for two, and from its doorstep, travelers indulge in private market tours, cooking classes, and nighttime winetasting tours through Rome’s charming backstreets.
