Welcome to Istanbul
Istanbul, Turkey's largest city and cultural heart, is the only metropolis in the world that straddles two continents, creating a unique fusion of European and Asian influences that has shaped civilizations for millennia. Once known as Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine and Ottoman Empires, Istanbul preserves an extraordinary collection of monuments including the magnificent Hagia Sophia, the stunning Blue Mosque, and the opulent Topkapi Palace that housed Ottoman sultans for 400 years. The city's legendary Grand Bazaar, one of the world's oldest and largest covered markets, offers an intoxicating shopping experience with over 4,000 shops selling everything from spices and carpets to gold and ceramics. Istanbul's culinary scene is equally remarkable, from street food favorites like simit and döner to refined Ottoman cuisine in historic mansions along the Bosphorus. Take a ferry across the strait between continents, explore trendy neighborhoods like Karaköy and Kadıköy, and experience the unique energy of a city where East truly meets West.
