Istanbul

Exotic excitement in a ancient city on the water is what awaits you in Istanbul. Five fabulous minarets stand protectively around the Blue Mosque, making the skyline of Istanbul dazzling when lit at night. You can hear the call to prayers throughout the day.

Istanbul is full of major historical buildings, yet it has small town neighborhoods as well. You can visit the palace and harem of a Sultan. Buy an oriental rug. Shop at a huge Bazaar. Visit a sunken palace. Marvel at the treasures in the Topkapi Palace. And dine on delicious Turkish food in captivating Istanbul!

Located in Asia and Europe, the city is split by the Bosporus Strait, Istanbul is a city with a long history and many places that will interest tourists. The Hagia Sophia is one of Istanbul’s most famous attractions, it has changed over the centuries and is now a museum.

Ottoman architecture is popular with tourists, while older buildings and structures from Roman and Greek times can be viewed around Istanbul. Driving over the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge or the Bosporus Bridge takes people to a different continent, the Asian or European area of Istanbul.
