Where to Stay in Istanbul
The city where Europe meets Asia across the Bosphorus
Hagia Sophia, Grand Bazaar, rooftop hammams, and the world's most dramatic skyline.
Travel Guide
Istanbul is the only city in the world that spans two continents — Europe and Asia — separated by the Bosphorus Strait. Hagia Sophia stood as the world's largest cathedral for nearly 1,000 years. The Grand Bazaar has 4,000 shops. And from any rooftop, you're watching cargo ships sail between the Black Sea and the Mediterranean.
