With 14.6 million inhabitants, Istanbul is not only the largest Turkish city but also Turkey’s cultural, economic and medial heart and transport node. The city is divided by the Bosporus and thus between Europe and Asia. Istanbul looks back on 2600 years of history and is part of the UNESCO world heritage. It is an absolute highlight to discover this city by a boat trip on the Bosporus. Sights of Istanbul include the Süleymaniye Mosque and the Sultan-Ahmed-Mosque as well as various museums, such as the Topkapi Palace, the Hagia Sophia or the Museum of Turkish and Islamic art. Furthermore, a visit to a traditional Turkish bath should not be missed.
