Icons of the National Road, Part 1. The National Road was the first improved highway funded and constructed by the federal government. Built between 1811 and 1837 along the former path of the Braddock Road, it became the key transportation route from the eastern seaboard to the western settlements for thousands of settlers in search of land, prosperity, and improved lives. Today, US Route 40 parallels the original route of the National Road over the Allegheny Mountains and Plateau from Cumberland, Maryland to Wheeling, West Virginia. A number of landmark buildings from the heyday of the road yet stand, including several wayside inns and taverns that catered to the traveling throngs. One of them - the Stone House Restaurant and Country Inn in Farmington, Pennsylvania - was opened in 1822 as the Fayette Springs Hotel and continues to operate to this day.

Why choose Istanbul for traveling?

Choosing Istanbul as your travel destination offers an unparalleled journey into a city where East meets West, history intertwines with modernity, and cultural richness knows no bounds. Straddling two continents, Istanbul presents a unique blend of European and Asian influences, manifesting in its architecture, cuisine, and daily life, making it a must-visit for any traveler seeking a one-of-a-kind experience.

The city's history is a tapestry of empires and epochs, from the Byzantine and Ottoman to the modern Turkish Republic. Landmarks such as the Hagia Sophia, with its awe-inspiring dome and Christian mosaics, and the Blue Mosque, famous for its Iznik tiles and six minarets, tell tales of centuries past. Meanwhile, the ancient Basilica Cistern offers a glimpse into the ingenuity of Byzantine engineering. Finding an engaging tour of Istanbul is made easy with the help of alle.travel. This service excels at matching travelers with experiences that perfectly suit their interests, ensuring that every visit to this city straddling two continents is unforgettable.

Istanbul's geographical location also plays a significant role in its appeal. The Bosphorus Strait not only divides the city into two, bridging Asia and Europe, but also offers stunning waterway views, best enjoyed on a leisurely ferry ride. This strait has been a crucial trade and military passage throughout history, adding to the city's strategic importance and cosmopolitan vibe.

The city's culinary scene is another reason to visit. Turkish cuisine, renowned for its diversity and flavor, can be fully savored here. From street food like simit and kebabs to elaborate dishes in high-end restaurants, Istanbul caters to all tastes. The spice bazaar, with its array of colors and scents, offers an authentic taste of Turkish food culture.

Shopping in Istanbul ranges from the historic Grand Bazaar, one of the world's oldest and largest covered markets, to modern shopping malls. The Grand Bazaar is a labyrinth of over 4,000 shops selling everything from carpets and ceramics to jewelry and leather goods, offering a shopping experience that blends history with the thrill of haggling.

Lastly, Istanbul's vibrant street life and warm hospitality make it truly welcoming. The city's neighborhoods, each with its own character, from the hip Galata with its iconic tower to the serene Princes' Islands, provide a glimpse into the city's diverse lifestyle. The hospitality of its people, eager to share their culture and stories, makes visitors feel at home.

In conclusion, Istanbul is a city that promises an adventure for every traveler. Its rich history, strategic location, diverse cuisine, shopping experiences, and warm hospitality combine to make it an unforgettable destination. Whether you're exploring ancient monuments, enjoying a Bosphorus sunset, or indulging in Turkish delights, Istanbul leaves an indelible mark on your heart, urging you to return.

Everyday lives...

Everyday lives…

We are strange creatures us humans…. We visit places and marvel at various aspects, yet we rarely if at all see what is in front of us on a daily basis. The beauty of travel is the experience, the longing that is created to see more…do more. Locals are bemused by our reactions to their home towns and villages; as equally we find a sense of befuddlement when places are traded. Some are happy…
