About Istanbul

Istanbul s'étend sur l'Europe et l'Asie de part et d'autre du Bosphore : monuments byzantins et ottomans, bazars animés, ferries entre deux continents.

La péninsule historique concentre les plus grands monuments. Sainte-Sophie, la Mosquée bleue et l'Hippodrome se font face à Sultanahmet, la Citerne Basilique s'étend sous les rues, et le palais de Topkapı occupe la colline qui domine la Corne d'Or. À quelques pas, le Grand Bazar et le Bazar aux épices commercent depuis des siècles, et la mosquée Süleymaniye, œuvre du grand architecte ottoman Sinan, couronne l'une des sept collines de la ville.

Top-ranked sights in Istanbul: Dolmabahce Palace (Dolmabahce Sarayi), Bosphorus, Bosphorus Bridge (Bogazici Koprusu).
