Istanbul, Turkey

Posted by Unknown On 22.30 2 comments

The megacity of Istanbul is the largest city in Turkey, and the third largest in Europe. A booming center of finance, economics, and culture, Istanbul’s metro area is home to over 13 million people. The city is considered by some to be the epitome of East meets West culture. Istanbul has been known by many other names, most notably Constantinople and Byzantium. With a rich cultural heritage, it’s no wonder that the city is home to a variety of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Also notable is the Byzantine and Ottoman architecture present in the city, and picturesque mosques such as the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, and the Sultan Ahmed Mosque. Visitors to this fine city can enjoy all the pleasures and excitements any big city affords, and there is something fun to do for any budget.

Nice sharing my friend. Your blog is very informative for all blog readers. Istanbul is the largest and beautiful city in Turkey. I visit in Istanbul before my bus tours to mt rushmore with my family. The Sultan Ahmed Mosque, Grand Bazaar and Süleymaniye Mosque are the major tourist attraction in this city.

After studying abroad in Europe honestly I observe the Blue Mosque was definitely worth a visit and most famous attraction of Turkey. I had this great chance to visit the Mosque last month just before my us west coast tours. Beautiful mosaics and a candlelit chandelier add to the atmosphere. Learn about Islam and take some time to just hang out the Blue mosque is one of the best options I thought.
