As the sun dips below the horizon, Istanbul transforms into a canvas of warm hues, particularly along the shores of the Bosphorus. The lighting casts a golden glow over the iconic Galata Tower, where visitors often gather to capture the moment. Nearby, the historic Spice Bazaar buzzes with life, its stalls glowing in the evening light, inviting exploration of aromatic spices and local delicacies.
