Istanbul is one of the world’s most ancient cities where the historic old meets the cosmopolitan new, uniquely straddling both Europe and Asia across the Bosphorus Strait.
Istanbul offers visitors iconic historic sights as well as vibrant nightlife and designer shopping in uber-chic shopping malls in what is Turkey’s largest city.
This is one of the world’s greatest cities with an old quarter displaying a vast array of storybook domes and minarets, and narrow cobbled streets lined with traditional wooden houses, perfectly penned in on a diminishing peninsula pointing to Asia. On Istanbul’s southern side, the blue waters of the Sea of Marmara sparkle like an unfathomable number of diamonds whilst north, the Golden Horn curves gently to the pulsing lights and heady chimes of Beyoğlu, Istanbul’s entertainment hub.
