Plane Your Journey With Istanbul Travel
Istanbul, once known as the capital of capital cities, has many unique features. It is the only city in
the world to straddle two continents, and the only one to have been a capital during two
consecutive empires - Christian and Islamic. Once was capital of the Ottoman Empire, Istanbul still
remains the commercial, historical and cultural pulse of Turkey, and its beauty lies in its ability to
embrace its contradictions. Ancient and modern, religious and secular, Asia and Europe, mystical
and earthly all co-exist here.
Its variety is one of Istanbul’s greatest attractions: The ancient mosques, palaces, museums and
bazaars reflect its diverse history. The thriving shopping area of Taksim buzzes with life and
entertainment. And the serene beauty of the Bosphorus, Princes Islands and parks bring a touch of
peace to the otherwise chaotic metropolis.
