Under the romantic backdrop of minarets and mosques, like a step out of time stands the ancient city of Istanbul.

The only city in the world built on two continents, Europe and Asia, standing on the shores of Bosphorus and guarding the precious relics of the world-dominating empires Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman which has been the capital, a unique link between the east and west, past and the present.

Art treasures and architectural works will evoke your feelings of nostalgia. Modern day Istanbul boasts the best of both continents. With a colorful history and vibrant past, vividly alive, Istanbul today offers you a unique insight into variety of cultures.
