Istanbul

Did you know that Istanbul is one of only five cities in the world that span across two continents: Europe & Asia! This ancient metropolis, once known as Byzantium and later Constantinople, has been a crossroads of civilization for centuries. With iconic landmarks like the majestic Hagia Sophia, which has stood the test of time as a church, museum, and now mosque, and the bustling Grand Bazaar, a shopper’s paradise since the 15th century, Istanbul is a living history book. Cross the Bosphorus Bridge, and you can literally step from one continent to another. Now that’s a bridge between worlds!
