Istanbul

About Istanbul City

This magical meeting place of East and West has more top-drawer attractions than it has minarets. Istanbul is a major city in Turkey that straddles Europe and Asia across the Bosphorus Strait. Although not the official capital of Turkey, Istanbul is still very much the heart of all activities of the country. It is Turkey's largest and most populated city, and is also the centre of tourism of the country. Some ancient cities are the sum of their monuments, but İstanbul factors a lot more into the equation. Chief among its manifold attractions are the locals, who have an infectious love of life and generosity of spirit. The city is also a shopper's paradise, with one of the world's first 'shopping malls', the Grand Bazaar, and several streets dedicated to all types of shops and stores. Cruises along the strait are a hugely popular activity as they afford you some spectacular views of the cityscape.
