The Starting Point of the Orient Express, Like Traveling Back in Time

If you are a fan of Agatha Christie and have read 'Murder on the Orient Express,' you must visit the original starting point of the Orient Express. Located in the Sirkeci Station in the old European district of Istanbul, the pink building, waiting hall, and platform still stand. There is also a historic café that once served passengers waiting for their train, and a small museum dedicated to the Orient Express where you can glimpse the train's former glory. Although Sirkeci Station is still a train station, it is no longer the Orient Express of the past. However, staying there feels like traveling back in time to that era.
