Why go

Visit Edirne to follow the Ottoman capital story before the move to Constantinople in 1453. Its position in European Turkey also makes the city a useful contrast with Anatolian destinations. The older name Adrianople points to a Roman layer beneath the Ottoman one.

Useful to know

  • Treat Edirne as a city visit in Eastern Thrace, not a brief detour within Istanbul.
