Istanbul Art Walk and Doner Picnic
Spend your date exploring the vibrant art scene in Istanbul's historic district of Beyoglu before ending the day with a scrumptious doner picnic indoors while soaking in the city's panoramic views.
- Istanbul is home to an incredible art scene. With its vibrant mix of modern and traditional galleries, artistic culture is on full display. Start your date at Deviant Art Gallery, which is renowned for its contemporary works, then head towards Gallery Apel, where you can immerse yourself in more traditional Turkish artforms. After exploring the galleries, hop into a local doner shop for a take away. Finish your date by setting up an indoor picnic at Galata Tower or similar indoor venue with a view. Enjoy traditional doner while taking in the panoramic views of Istanbul.
- Istanbul's weather in November can be quite chilly, and there might be occasional rainfall which means going outdoors might not be the best idea. Hence, this date idea is perfect for the conditions as it combines indoor activities with breathtaking views of the outdoor, from comfort of indoors.
Preparation steps:
- Research about the art scene in Istanbul to impress your partner with your knowledge. Get to know more about traditional and modern Turkish art as this would be the theme of your date. Pack a picnic blanket and some indoor picnic essentials to keep the mood cozy and warm. Lastly, remember to check the opening hours and entry fees for the galleries and Galata Tower.
- Order a doner meal to-go from a famous local place. Take your meal, along with some Turkish tea, to the indoor picnic location. Arrange your picnic setting overlooking the cityscape of Istanbul.
- Make sure to have an umbrella as well, just in case you experience the November rains of Istanbul. Better safe than sorry.
