About Istanbul
Istanbul is the only city stretching over two continents, Europe and Asia, where they face each other across a narrow body of water called the Bosphorus. Istanbul is defined as the city embracing two continents: Asia with one arm and Europe with the other. With a population over 15 million, this is the most populous city of the Turkish Republic, and is the centre of exports and imports, entertainment, cultural activities, education, shopping, tourism, and artistic activities across the entire country.
Around 2 million tourists visit Istanbul every year, and admire the historical and natural beauties of the city. Istanbul, where East and West, Asia and Europe meet, is a world city where different cultures and religions create the most harmonious synthesis. The ancient mosques, churches, palaces, museums, and bazaars reflect its diverse history. The Golden Horn and the Islands enrich the natural beauty of the Bosphorus. Taksim is the centre of entertainment in Istanbul with several pubs and restaurants. The moderate climate, active night life, lovely people, and excellent cuisine are some of the other factors which make Istanbul an attractive destination for visitors.
