Istanbul

Introducing

Istanbul, Turkey’s biggest city, is this cool mix of Europe and Asia with a rich history. It’s got that perfect combo of old-school and new vibes that tourists dig.

You can soak up modern Turkey in malls and clubs, or dive into traditional delights like bazaars and mosques. Plus, Istanbul’s got killer views, a sweet Mediterranean climate, and a strategic spot on the Bosphorus Strait connecting Europe and Asia.

It’s been the capital for empires, changed names a few times (bye Byzantium and Constantinople), and even served as the big shot in the Islamic world. Now, it’s officially Istanbul since 1923.

Explore the Old City’s Sultanahmet peninsula, where history’s etched in the architecture. Check out the Hagia Sophia – it went from Christian cathedral to mosque. Hit up Topkapi Palace, Hippodrome, and the Blue Mosque. And, don’t forget the Grand Bazaar for souvenirs.

For a sweet view, head to the Galata Tower or go mini at Miniatürk. Chill in the Basilica Cistern, cross the Galata Bridge, and hit up Taksim Square for the modern scene. There’s something for everyone – skyscrapers, nightclubs, shopping malls. Get an Istanbulkart for easy transport, and maybe take a ferry to peep Beylerbeyi Palace.

Over 13 million folks call Istanbul home, making it Europe’s most crowded spot. Why? Because Istanbul is a unique blend of East and West – from culture to cuisine, it’s one-of-a-kind.
