4 Things to not do when traveling

 Traveling is a real pleasure. This allows us to discover other cities, other countries, other cultures ... To summarize this brings us a lot. On the other hand, there are things you can not do to avoid clumsiness, mistakes and other mishaps. It can happen to us during a trip to waste money, waste time or miss things. 
And since we talk more often about what to do and see, I thought it would be interesting to list things to avoid. These are not necessarily things we think about, but who can really be wise to know.

Do not book at the right time
To book too early is to take the risk of paying very expensive and book at the last minute is to take the risk of not finding interesting offers ... It is important to find the right balance and personally I would recommend booking 2 at 5 months before the date. Especially for airline tickets, because this is the period when companies secure sales. Once your plane tickets in your pocket, book the hotel quickly. Generally the sooner you go, at the best prices you will find a room. Do not risk waiting until the last moment, especially if you are leaving in high season!

Exchange money at the airport
In most cases, the fees are very high. I would personally recommend you to exchange on site instead. Each time, I noticed that the price was more interesting abroad. Most hotels also give you the opportunity to exchange your currency which can be safer. Otherwise do not hesitate to go to a bank, but do not change anywhere. And even less in the street. It seems like a matter of common sense but I have already seen people do it.

Eat in a nearby restaurant a very touristy place
 That's something I learned very quickly. Restaurants near tourist spots sell you dishes at double the price for poor quality. The best way to taste the gastronomy of the country and eat well is to do a minimum of research.You have known sites like Yelp but can also do according to blog or youtube channel. If you are adventurous choose at random, otherwise ask directly to your hotel. In general, the receptionists inform the best restaurants in the area.

Do not bring cash

Do not take money in cash is pay by card and therefore pay fees to his bank. And depending on where you are, the fees can be very high. So obviously this problem does not arise in all banks,
Before leaving, check with your bank. If no fee is levied it's great, otherwise think of removing the species.

Architectural monuments of Istanbul

Aya Sofia
This building was originally built as a cathedral of the Orthodox Patriarchate. At the time of the Islamic conquest it became a mosque, and when the Turkish Republic became a museum. This building was the cathedral of Constantinople between 360 and 1453, excluding the years between 1204 and 1261, when it became the cathedral of the Latin Empire. Converted to a mosque from May 29, 1453 until 1934, when the Turkish constitution declared Turkey a secular state and became a museum.




Sultan Ahmed mosque
This mosque was built between 1609 and 1616 during the reign of Sultan Ahmed I. Also known as the Blue Mosque because of the tiles [clear from what / what is meant?] The blue that decorates inside it. Like most of the Ottoman mosques, it contains the tomb of the Sultan who founded it, as well as a school and a school. This mosque was shown against the background of the 500-pound Turkish paper, which was placed in circulation from 1953 until 1976.




Bosphorus bridge
This bridge is also called the First Bosphorus Bridge, one of the two bridges connecting Europe with Asia. It is 1,510 meters (4,954 feet) long and has a width of 39 meters (128 feet). The distance between the towers is 1,074 meters (3,524 feet) and the height is 105 meters (344 feet), while the distance between the sea and the bridge reaches 64 meters (210 feet). This bridge gained fourth place among the longest suspended bridges in the world when it was completed in 1973 and was the longest bridge outside the United States. Today, he is in 16th place among these bridges.
