Istanbul, known as the "Crossroads of the World," spans the Bosphorus Strait, which separates Europe and Asia. It has long been one of the most important and influential cities in world history, having been known as both Byzantium and Constantinople.
Trade, wealth, and people flocked to its streets as a result of its strategic location. As a result, magnificent buildings such as the stunning Hagia Sophia arose, demonstrating the city's might and renown. This can also be seen in the wealth of artworks and architectural marvels seen around the city. It is now the most populous metropolis in Europe, with over fifteen million people living within its borders.
Make your way to the Grand Bazaar to get a flavour of old Istanbul, where you'll be met by all kinds of enticing sights, sounds, and aromas from the souk.
