Queen of Cities
A physical and cultural bridge between Europe and Asia, the transcontinental city of Istanbul serves as a living reminder of the Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman empires.Satisfy your inner culture vulture at Hagia Sophia Museum / Church (Ayasofya) and Topkapi Palace. Step out of the city life by going to Selale Parkuru and Uzuntarla Tabiat Parki. There's still lots to do: admire the striking features of Basilica Cistern, contemplate the waterfront views at Bosphorus Strait, contemplate in the serene atmosphere at Sultan Ahmed Mosque, and take a stroll through Ortakoy.
