Istanbul is the largest city in Turkey and one of the most fascinating cities in the world because it sits on two continents — Europe and Asia — divided by the Bosporus Strait. It has been a major center of culture, politics, and trade for thousands of years.

A few key points about Istanbul:

• Historical names: It was known as Byzantium in ancient times and later as Constantinople when it became the capital of the Byzantine Empire.

• Rich history: Istanbul has been the capital of three great empires — Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman.

• Famous landmarks: Hagia Sophia (a church, then a mosque, now a mosque again), the Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, Grand Bazaar, and the Galata Tower.

• Cultural life: A vibrant mix of East and West — with lively bazaars, beautiful mosques, modern art galleries, cafes, and traditional Turkish baths (hamams).

• Population: Around 15 million people — making it one of the biggest cities in the world.

Fun fact: You can take a ferry ride in Istanbul and literally travel between two continents in just minutes!
