Things to do in Istanbul

Istanbul is in North Western Turkey and is commonly known as the ‘bridge’ that unites the Eastern and the Western parts of the world. Istanbul is a transcontinental city that straddles both Europe and Asia. The financial and commercial part of the city is found in Europe, while two-thirds of the city’s actual population resides in Asia. This “separation” gives the city a unique feel to it and it has become a place where cultures mix, becoming something new, and where tradition and innovation meet face-to-face. Until 1930 the city held two names: Istanbul and its historic name of Constantinople. In 2012 it was declared a European capital of culture and is the world’s fifth most popular tourist destination. Architecture, cuisine and history are some of the things about the city that attract travellers.
